I like this one the best.  I see CompUSA sells one for <$10.  Looks 
like a pin converter with a short power cable.  Is that all it takes?

I should be able to simply copy the whole drive to another NTFS 
partition.  

If I had a failure, can I just grab anther 2.5" and copy the stuff to 
it?

I'd like to do one clean save and anther after a setup - whatever 
that is.

What a dance.  These folks are too cheap to supply a CD/DVD.  Give me 
the good old days, even with floppies.

Regards,

Rich
