I have couple of IDE Internal HDD drives and one SATA Internal drive which I want to convert them to External HDD Drive. Do we get any decent external casings which I can use. I would preferably need USB 3.0 for the SATA drive.

I would use the SATA HDD converted into external to connect to my LED Smart TV to watch videos by connecting through the USB port.

Dude the cases are surely available.. but personally I have had a bad experience with those.. two of my hard drives got damaged apparently because I tried to convert them into external hard drives by putting them into cases.. better to buy an external hard drive

Just get a SATA-PATA-USB adapter, but you'll have to carry a power supply separately
