    Do they exist? I've not been able to find one. I ordered my new notebook with a 80GB 5400rpm SATA drive and would like to upgrade to the Hitachi 100GB 7200rpm SATA drive and use the OEM in an external USB2 enclosure. This seemed more cost effective at the time.

    I didn't consider at the time that compact, external, SATA enclosures didn't exist and I'm not going to shelf a nearly new 80GB notebook drive.

    Does anybody know of anything that would work here?
