Hi Bob, What I mean is an adapter that will plug a hard drive that you've just removed from your computer's case, into another computer's USB port without any external chassis or boxes.
On one end, you have a USB plug, and on the other end, at the connectors that one would see if they had a look inside the computer's case, and saw the wires their hard drive was plugged into. Under other circumstances, a person with an internal drive, who wanted to use that drive outside of a computer's case would have to purchase or obtain an external chassis the person would plug their hard drive into to accept power from an external source other than the computer's power supply, and a data ribbon to transfer data via the USB port. Well, with these adapters, you don't need that case, and just set the drive to the side of the computer, plug in the connections, and connect the drive to the computer and start getting the data from it. It's plug and play, so no need to install drivers or anything. Not sure if that clears things up for you, I certainly know that I'm confused. LOL.
