I need to find a USB 3.0 enclosure for my 3.5 inch HDD that I'm removing from my PC. I want to make it an external drive since it's still good. I'm hoping to spend under $20 on it and I prefer Newegg or Amazon.

I assume it's going to need external power since I don't think USB 3.0 can power 3.5 inch drives (can it?)

Thanks a bunch

bought this one about a year or so ago and does me just fine.

note it's use of the ASMedia Chipset (ASM1153E). I've been happy with it.
