Hi Guys, Please suggest a HDD Case which i can use with my laptop hard drive(has Sata port) and an SSD. I prefer it to have a USB 3.0 port and maybe with no additional power adapter. Budget 1k. I will initially use the case with my SSD.

[MENTION=317810]Stormbringer[/MENTION], have a look at the iAnker USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure, Anker USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5-Inch SATA 7 & 9.5mm HDD and SSD sold by Yugadi; the manufacturer's exclusive distributor in India, Yugadi | Anker USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5-Inch SATA 7 & 9.5mm HDD and SSD

Simultaneously, have a look at the Transcend StoreJet 25S3 (USB 3.0 Enclosure), StoreJet 25S3 (USB 3.0 Enclosure)-External Storage High-speed USB 3.0 Enclosure which is available on Amazon India.
