Some one correct me if I am wrong...
but I believe that as long as the external enclosure supports a 500GB hard drive... then your good to go. What OS and service pack do you have installed? |

You just need an enclosure that supports such a HDD.
Apricorn makes good quality units, and they come with a version of Acronis backup software.
