Attempting to setup backup file space on existing Maxtor drive. Need power supply and cabling if I can do this.

You'll spends almost as much getting this to work as you would on just buying a new external drive which would have way more than 40gb of capacity.

external cases($20 to $35 for the 4 to 5 star rated ones):

1TB seagate blue external drive $35 (after rebate)

Lasty, please remember that important files should never be keep just one one drive. Backups are the only way to survive when your harddrive fails or gets dropped :-(
