well my dad brought me a hard drive a couple weeks ago he didnt buy it but i was wondering about it the link is http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=202

it says it can be used as a external hard drive so how would i use it like that? and can i format it some kind of way or see whats on it is there a adapter i would need to hook it up to computer through some kind of port if so what type of port its a SATA mobile 80 gig hard drive by western digital so i was just wondering if you can give me the advice on this cuz i wanted to format it to fat 32 if it hasnt been preset to something else cuz i could prolly use it to transfer my ps3 save data and stuff after i get it fixed the ps3 i mean fixed i wanted to back up my data if they fix it without me losing the system data altogether
 
umm

about that umm formating them would i be able to use my windows 7 full version to format it at least? and about the hard drive will this kinda like plug into the hard drive and then to a usb port is this enclosure more like another word for adapter in a way?
