    Hi,

    I had to remove the case of my WD 1TB Elements hard drive recently. I purchased a Rocketfish enclosure from Best Buy. I read somewhere once that someone had success with Rocketfish enclosures. Unfortunately my WDTV Live Plus does not recognize the drive while in this enclosure. I tried connecting with the enclosed USB 3 cable, and the old USB 2 cable I have. Nothing.

    Can anyone recommend an enclosure for my Elements drive that will definitely work with a WDTV Live Plus?

    Thanks for reading.

    I just use an external USB HDD dock and I've never had any issues with it.

    I think this is the one, I actually have one of them at my PC and another hooked up to my Live Plus.

    A Thermaltake BlacX works just fine for me as well.
