good day,

I have a HP 900 GB HDD and am looking for an enclosure for USB adapter.

 

model # EG0900FBLSK

 

part # 619286-004

 

I am trying to find a USB enclosure for the HDD and the "standard" ones being sold at the big box stores do not work. it appears that pin-outs have a different connector than other HDD's.

 

does anybody kow where a USB enclosure can be purchased?

 

thank yo,

 

DH

What you have is a SAS hard drive from a server.  There is NO direct way to skip a dedicated SAS controller card, which can cost more than the drive is worth.  A new Seagate 1000 GB (aka 1 TB) is less than $50, an external USB 3.0 slide in case  $30  or the whole item in one portable case is only $57.
