    hi, i'm wondering if anybody can tell me a simple way to add an external drive to my laptop. the main 2.5 drive is acting up, so i thought i could load an external 3.5 to diagnose the main drive.
    any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    You can either get an enclosure for any hard drive ( 2.5 or 3.5) that connects thru usb........or you can just get the adapter to interface thru usb.
