Hiya Peter1,

If I understand this post I think you may be looking for something like this to run that drive as an external drive to hook up to another pc.

Peter1, Ordinarily you would have received all the accessories that you need, in the package when you bought your Esata external HD. 📎Esata_accessories.jpg

Sorry I misled you. I was asking how to coordinate what to order for a new pc as I already have the external hard drive in an enclosure. I now know I jut need to orded the pc with the eSata port and get the appropriate cable.
