A drive left over from a laptop returns to use as external storage, as long as the enclosure is the right size and has the right interface. A 2.5-inch SATA drive, a 3.5-inch desktop drive and an M.2 NVMe card each take an enclosure of their own, and the enclosure's external connector is either USB-C or the older Micro-B. Gembird and AXAGON also have docks that a drive drops into without screws, along with brackets for fitting a drive inside a machine.
