Good hard drive network enclosure....cheap!!

[dave_s13]

Now then, I relaise Good + Cheap often = No but it's worth asking.

I have 2 hard disk drives 1x 500GB SATA job and 1x 350GB IDE jobby, they both contain lots of my music and also blu-ray rips as MKV files. I see you can buy IDE/SATA connectors which should render the older drive still useful.

I want to remove them from my HTPC in the name of silence and mount them in an external network enclosure that will live in another room and connect via the network. I also want to able to chuck NZB files at the server for it to magically connect to my newsgroup service.

It there a cheap/easy way of doing this please chaps?

Thanks for the info chaps.

I already have the htpc set up with a 120gb ssd, 1st time I've used one and they are fecking awesome.

The easiest way is probably to get a large capacity drive as mentioned. Any advice on links to one that is super quiet?
