Storage Solutions mSATA HDD casing?

[Vagabond]

Hi

Posting on behalf a friend, who had dead laptop and following msata hdd (size I think 1.8")

I have seen it for first time and searched for appropriate casing to use it as portable drive online, couldn`t find any.

Where can I get the casing ?

Also, can this be used in laptops having 2.5" slot ?[DOUBLEPOST=1440408821][/DOUBLEPOST]

Have you seen Seagate portable drives? The usb thing that de-attaches from the hdd will suit this

You will have to rely on ebay or ask around in forums for dead oow Seagate drives.

I am still doubtful.... I have seen those drives and wonder it contains 2.5" or 1.8" ?
