MP3 Player HDD Uses?

BlownEarDrums · 01-23-2006, 04:04 AM

Hello everybody I got a good Question.

I have a Creative NOMAD Zen Xtra Jukebox and the Mobo is dead. Is there a certain USB HDD case that I have to buy to use the Zen’s HDD again. I would like to recover my music and use the extra space on the drive as my school backup. 40 Gig HD, I pretty sure it’s a 2.5-inch laptop HD. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Thanks for the input

If it's like I've seen before, they use a basic 2.5" laptop drive as you mentioned. Any enclosure for such drives should work just fine... Or there are even some USB adaptors that you just connect right to the drive

Do you have any recomendations on a case that will keep it cool (will be on for hours at a time) and is it possible to have a case that has both USB 2.0 and firewire. I would like it to stay portable also. AUX 110V Power and transformer is acceptable (And Recomended)
