Thanks to @eazy for pointing this to me earlier.

i got a USB case for my 40 GB ATA HDD for 500 bucks,
ADVIK USB Casing - it comes with a power cord which draws power separately. And obviously its Plug-n-Play using the supplied usb cable!! :)

I own Vantecs PATA and eSATA external cases but I dont expect people to buy them in a hurry as they cost one arm and one leg.... or ... 2500/- for PATA and 3500/- for eSATA (HDD NOT INCLUDED). These are very good cases.

A combined PATA and SATA case which I have seen people mention is the Zippy which can take either of these 2 type of HDDs and this is available in Mumbai for 1200/- I think this may be a better product then the Tech-Com

a review of the Zippy...
