SATA Hard Drive Docking Station (back up PS3??)

[shadowkast]

~~Deleted/Edited my original post as I found the info I needed but will restore in case others find this info useful~~

Went with this USB enclosure. Newegg.com $11.98

and this hd from Amazon $74.90

New question though; Will this process work:
-remove my 80gig from the PS3
-back it up (basically just copy) on my desktop PC~w/ enclosure
-format/fat32 the new drive~w/ ps3
-transfer (basically paste) the backup from desktop to new drive~w/ enclosure
-install new drive in ps3
-sit back and enjoy a job well done*

Thanx in advance guys
*multiple beers will be consumed throughout the entire process!

Edit: I know the standard method is to use a external hd for backing up(which I don't own and would wish to save my $$$$). The above steps are, I'm thinking, to just clone my 80 gig onto the 320gig

I'm not really fan of docking stations like the first item you linked to. If you were an IT manager and frequently had to pull data off multiple different hard drives, it would make sense. Since all you're looking to do is back your PS3, an external enclosure would probably be a smarter choice. The first two Amazon links you posted are to the same item, and neither will work because that enclosure is for PATA devices. The PS3 drive is SATA, as you know, so the last item would be what you need.

Fixed links. They all were blue and I put the wrong link up there. Fixed.

Edit: Or should I just spend the extra few $$$ and get a slightly better one:
