Hi all, I have a Western Digital essential 'my book' 500GB hdd. which recently 'broke' (power problem). So, I've removed the hdd from the case and am now looking for 3.5" sata enclosure to connect it to my laptop with. Something like this below:
3.5 SATA to USB HD Hard Disk Drive Enclosure Caddy Case | eBay
However non of the items I am finding on ebay and/or Amazon appear to be compatibale with Windows 8.
I don't really understand how something can be compatible with W7 but not W8. I have emailed the sellers and they are all confirming "not compatible with W8". Surely this is just inaccurate info? Surely W8 will pick the the hdd up as a USB external drive?
And ideas guys?
Thanks for reading!
