I have an Ide internal hard drive I replaced in my computer and I need one

of those devices that you plug the drive into and then plug a USB into your

computer so you can access the data on the old drive. What is that device

called.

External Hard drive enclosure. Google it for many sources.



http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=92&name=External-Enclosures

is one but again many more and possibly cheaper than neweggs.



Ensure that it will accept IDE (or PATA) drive, not SATA drive which is a

different interface with the drive.

USB to IDE adapter. Several variations exist. The safest being to put the

drive into an external enclosure. The quick-and-dirty route being to use a

bare adapter that just plugs into the drive itself, along with a power

supply. Typically around $10 on fleabay.
 
Thanks, I got an external enclosure.
