This is what you're after:

Newegg has a variety of these but read the reviews to see the pros and cons.
They are good for testing and imaging where you only want temporary access
to the drive. I have a Vantec version which includes SATA connectors too and
I have problems seeing the drive in Windows XP but can access it through
disk management. Not sure where you would get such a thing in the UK.
