For that specific hard drive, you could buy any type of barred enclosure for as long as it:

1. supports 3.5 form factor

2. supports SATA

(I have filter it down for you)



Also, try to get aluminum enclosure; they dissipate heat better than the plastic ones.



user-accessible jumper-switch is, I believe, something that your frozen drive supports so that you could select either SATA-150 or SATA/300 operation. It's speed piece (150 is 1.5 Gbit/s, while 300 is 3.0 Gbit/s transfer rate)
