Thanks for the reply.

Nope. Just a cable. A cable that will connect my hdd to my computer. This cable should have a USB on other side.

You want an external enclosure to plug your old desktop's SATA drive into and to plug it into a USB2 port.

No, that is for 2.5" drives, not 3.5" drives.

The above will allow you to hook both desktop (i.e. 3.5") and laptop (i.e. 2.5") "bare" drives that are either SATA or IDE to a USB port.
