What Is a Hard Drive Cage?
The hard drive cage is the casing that encloses a hard drive, which you can connect externally to a computer system. The material used in making the cases include metal, plastic, aluminum, or a combination of all. You can use the USB 1.1 and 2.0 or FireWire to connect the external hard drive to your computer. Your choice of connection is totally dependent on your machine type (Mac or Windows). There are both single and double drive cages available on the market. If you are a power computer user who needs a large amount of portable hard drive space, you can opt for a dual-layer cage that can house two internal hard drives.
Before buying a hard drive cage, you have to be sure of the type of drive you have. Laptop computers typically use 2.5-inch hard drives due to their sizes and power compared to the 3.5-inch desktop hard drives. The enclosure must be compatible with the drive you have. Keep in mind, the 2.5-inch enclosures are highly portable and do not have power adapters because they are bus-powered. However, the 3.5-inch hard drives will require an AC outlet to function. In essence, because they need more power than they can pull from the USB port, they usually come with an AC adapter out of the box.
