but machan external hd drives r very expencive ne. 40GB = 10,000/= or unlimited = 2000/= What do u chose?
If it's for backup purposes, the converter is fine. If you use it for moving data around, the portable drive is better, because
1. It's much convenient (less wires, small size)
2. Normal hard drives are not meant to be moved around.

    agree with u if I'm moving data around,Bt most of the times I do gt standard 3.5HDD to recover data.
    thatz why I'm looking for a enclosure
    BTW if I gt a IDE to USB cable,hw cn I power it up??

    Only if you don't carry it out more often. I wish I had an enclosure. :(
