I need some suggestions for an external enclosure for 2.5 SATA 120Gb drive. I pulled it out of my MacBook Pro and replaced it with a 250Gb drive. The enclosure needs to come with a power adapter as USB2.0 will not be able to power a 120Gb drive. Or a Firewire enclosure would be great.

Kevin, any suggestions?

I found one with external power, but it was ATA:(

Then a little more looking........

This one should do the trick, it has draws the power from a second USB/cord port.

I have one that has powered a 160GB drive without issue.
