Newer Technology USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter
Have an older drive, and want to see what's on it? Migrating from one system to another, and want to ease your pain? USB-connected drive adapters like this one can help. This $35 Mac and PC device from Newer Tech is simply a cable with colorful status lights for IDE/ATA/ATAPI and SATA connections. It's compatible with any 2.5-inch, 3.5-inch, or 5.25-inch hard drive, and it works with optical drives, too.

Newer Technology Voyager Q
Prefer a more permanent-feeling setup for using a bare internal drive? The $90 Voyager Q is a premium dock that provides a stable base where you can insert either a 3.5-inch or a 2.5-inch SATA drive. At the back of the Voyager Q, you'll find ports for FireWire 800 (two of these), FireWire 400, USB 2.0, and eSATA. The dock works with Macs and PCs.

Newer Technology Voyager S3
Already have USB 3.0? This single-bay, $48 dock will accept a 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hard drive, and will transfer data via either USB 2.0 or 3.0. It works with both Macs and PCs.
