Enclosure Cable
A look at what is currently available on eBay
Which is better? Converter cable or external enclosure?
I have this Seagate hard drive(250gb, SATA, 3.5") from my old, broken computer 
, and I am trying to use this as an external drive for extra storage. However, I am not sure which one to get, a converter(Sata to usb or esata) or an enclosure with a fan, to connect the drive to my new computer. Any ideas??
If you're going to connect that one drive and leave it connected, an enclosure. If you have a lot of drives and change which one is connected, a cable adapter. (The electronics are the same, but it makes more sense to keep the drive in an enclosure if you're not going to keep swapping drives.)
