I'm looking to upgrade my laptops harddrive, most likely to a 320GB. I know I want to use the current drive as an external. I was looking at the price orfbuying an internal + external case separately vs together. I decided its more cost effective to buy an external and swap the drive from that into my laptop. The only problem is that I don't know how to check if the external has the right connection.
Is it safe to assume this
