You can connect Harddisk thru USB by using 3.5" Harddisk casing for IDE and 2.5" casing for Laptop Harddisk. There are brands like enter, champion etc. available between Rs.500-1000 you may try check this link *search.ebay.in/casing_Computers-Pe...QQsacatZ160QQsadisZ200QQsbrftogZ1QQsofocusZbs

Less than rs 1000... There are some interfaces that let you connect to the IDE connector on the drive. I think those are around rs 700 or so. I was thinking of doing this since the optical drives causes driver problems in windows XP. IE xp downgrades the transfer modes when the drive gets errors and its a pain to get it fixed. But with a USB to IDE removable its not such a pain.. It will be slowe than connecting it via the IDE interface though.
I have been using external USB connector to do it right now. Ao instead of using the conputers power supply it self it uses an external brock power supply.
