\"\"<\/a>The new OWC Express USB 2.0 Enclosure<\/a> is one of the most reasonably priced small hard drive cases you’ll run across. This $19.99 stylish drive in Discreet Black, Sleek Silver, or Smooth White holds any 2.5″ Serial ATA\u00a0hard drive, also referred to as SATA I or II. At only 2 oz plus the drive weight, and with sleek dimensions (3.07″ Width x 5.12″ Depth x .55″ Height), it fits into many pockets or purses easily. We even include a carrying sleeve and a double-shielded USB 2.0\/1.1 connector cable, so it\u2019s a complete package. (Mouse in photo not included.)<\/p>\n

You can easily use any 2.5″ drive up to 9.5mm height and up to 7200RPM speed. All you need to know is how to twirl a screwdriver to install a drive mechanism. If you don’t have a spare drive handy, OWC offers drives from trusted sources<\/a>, such as Hitachi, Samsung, Seagate, Toshiba, and Western Digital mechanisms to fill\u00a0\u2019er up to 500GB starting at $47.99!<\/p>\n

If Your Port Isn\u2019t Up to Snuff<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Now, one USB port supplies 500 mA of current, which is usually enough to power up any bus-powered drive, but sometimes, you need more power. If you connect your Express and it just sits there and doesn\u2019t mount, you may need more power. You can solve this problem without an AC adapter, by adding a USB “Y” cable, also called a double USB cable or dual input USB cable. OWC sells this handy accessory<\/a> in clear or black, and it incorporates a 1-meter cable with one USB 2.0 Mini-B connector and two USB 2.0 A connectors.\u00a0It\u2019s even designed to stretch behind your laptop, so that you can reach the USB ports on both sides of your PowerBook or MacBook.<\/p>\n

Basically, this USB \u00a0cable doubles the power your bus-powered drive receives, so that it works flawlessly. While most Mac users may never need such a cable, it\u2019s a handy item to keep in your computer tool arsenal, especially for computer consultants.<\/p>\n

One note of caution though, do not use this cable to connect your new OWC Express to more than one computer at the same time. It won’t work and it may damage your drive. No USB or FireWire drive can be connected to more than one computer at a time; that\u2019s why we have file sharing and networking so easily configurable on the Mac.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
