Hi,
my old Mac-mini died (bad main board) and I got a new one. I want to take out the old 2.5" HDD from the older mini and put it into an external enclosure, with Firewire interface. This way I can access my old files and move them over to the new mini.

Any good recommendations for such? Cheaper the better since this is a once-up operation.

Thanks,
Rob

If it's once-off and you want cheap, use a USB external enclosure for your 2.5" drive. Costs about £5 here in UK, probably about $5 in US too?

probably cheaper if it's just a one off to buy a USB to Sata adaptor

Amazon USB to Sata

The adaptor will always come in useful as well.
