    Back in those days, I swapped my 1.8" ZIF Drive for a fitting SSD. I then got this tiny external case to convert the hdd to an external usb disk:

    Now in the new days, I swapped my 1.8" microSATA Drive for a fitting SSD. (You start to get the idea :)).

    Now I don't find an enclosure (pretty or not), to be able to use that drive as an external USB drive. Googling around hasn't helped me (that's not often the case for me).

    So, does anyone know such a device? I'd LOVE to get the identical case. that ICY BOX is awesome (it has leather surroundings). and it's so tiny, it could be a mobile phone (a small one :)). but at least something that "works" would be cool :) (i could even consider something without a case per se, if it fits into the 1.8" ICY BOX case.)

    btw, this may be my first own thread.. I feel strange.. :)
