2.5" IDE or SCSI. We've got one Maxtor enclosure which is currently on
its 3rd drive (we just swap them out when we need a clean one for a
backup or something). We also have "nonenclosures" which are the "bits
and bobs" without a case per se -- just the parts hanging off the back
of the drive itself, which is nice for grabbing a client's data to a
clean drive to bring home to burn to DVD or something.
So, if the drive's ok but the controller is toast, you can replace that
for around $35. If the controller is ok but the drive is toast, you can
replace that for going drive rates.
