The internal hard drive of a computer contains most of the information a user wants to transfer from one computer to another when they've purchased a new unit. Using only a screwdriver, some background knowledge, and a carefully chosen enclosure or docking station, converting an internal hard drive to an external unit is deceptively easy allowing you to transfer files from the old hard drive to the new one.
Hard drives are easily damaged by static. It is recommended that they are handled outside of any enclosure on an anti-static environment.
Internal hard drives mounted in a docking station are easily susceptible to dust and overheating and are not recommended for extended use.
