Looking for an IDE HDD Docking Station

[Ali_uae]

I have an old HDD - Seagate Barracuda that I want to use with my PC. Please suggest me some good, cheap docking station. If you guys have a link that'll be really helpful. Thanks!

Do you mean in internal/hot swappable sort of thing? Or would an external USB type enclosure work?

I am a bit confused, the internal interface on this dock is SATA II and the HDD I have uses IDE. How will I connect it?

My bad I have 2 old Barracuda drives both Sata.

That won't work , let me look around.
