I have a Mac that could do with some extra external storage.

I also have an old Toshiba laptop running windows that has just died. I've taken the HDD out and wondered if I could buy a case for the hard drive, plug it into my Mac via USB, wipe it clean, then just use it for storing photos on? Is that possible? Or am I being a numpty.

Thank you.

That is possible. You just need to know whether the old harddrive interface is SATA or IDE.

If Sata, then [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/DIGIFLEX-Drive-Caddy-Enclosure-Laptop/dp/B002UZO07C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1376158936&sr=8-2&keywords=2.5hdd+caddy ]one of these[/url] will be fine.
