Get the drive here: kings.tn/UV400itm I'll show you how to mod a SATA drive case to make an enclosure using unfinished walnut wood. I'll be using a 120GB UV400 SSD (solid state drive) and included USB enclosure that Kingston provided for me. If you want to do this mod make sure you get the bundle kit version (linked above) since that one includes the USB SATA enclosure.

SSDs are great since they are 10 times faster than a 7200RPM hard drive so old computers will feel like new. They have no moving parts so they will never crash by being dropped. This one is 120GB but they are also available in 240, 480 and soon 960GB. You could also install the SSD inside your PC or laptop and then use this walnut enclosure for your old hard drive for additional storage. More about this SSD here: kings.tn/uv400itm
