Inside components of an external hard drive?

that is the chipset of an external enclosure, it doesn't have a specific name as all enclosures have their own (and each is different when you change model) and you can place the hdd in a new one if that is broken.
What makes you think that the chipset is broken?

- Other Info
- Was discarded by previous owner due to "horrible performance".
Was running Win Xp from a IDE drive. Yeah. Was a pain.
SATA II drive and Win7 and it zips away! Yay!
My hard drive is not working while it is plugged into it...I bought a USB 2.0 to sata/hard drive adaptor and it works fine.....but not while plugged into this....the blue light shows power on but not reading it? What dou think? We're can I buy one of these or is it cheaper to buy a whole new external ?

It's cheaper to just use the SATA to USB adapter you have. That adapter is basically the same thing as the board in your broken enclosure. For some reason all external drives fail at some point and it is usually the electronics in the enclosure that fails and not the drive.
