Just get a External HDD Case and put ur HDD in it... Now 2-in-1 HDD....

an external casing can u tell me which on 2.5" 3.5" 5.5"...

I bought Coolermaster case. It is good and power adaptor is bes I have seen
little costly though SATA wud be around 1400 bucks

so i need a power adapter to connect it.... or simple USB might work.

Yes, u need a Power Adapter to make it work..(I hope so..) Coz the HDD has a power connector rite...

Get a eSATA casing .. or u'll miss out a lot out on the performance ..

but can e-sata casing be connected by USB...
