    I'm getting a Safer laptop soon but my desktop has some older hard drives I would like to utilize. What do I need to buy that would hook up correctly? Google found a lot of adapters but I'm trying to find something that recognizes esata as native, if that makes sense. (I wouldn't think you would need anything other than a sata cable and something to power the hard drive.

    Note my hard drive is 3.5 inch, not like it says in the title.
