Are you talking about an external enclosure? What enclosure do you have? I haven't seen one that handles both types of drives, but that sure doesn't mean there aren't any.

Yes, they do exist. I have one too, but have not tried it. It takes some software and mine will connect with usb to the computer, or with a sata cable. A waste of money in my case.If you use the sata adapter required, may as well put the drive inside. That's what I did.
