I have an extra 60GB HDD, so I figure it'll be a lot cheaper to purchase an external HDD enclosure [than buying an external HDD w/the same ammount]. What's a good one? Looking for USB 2.0 (USB 1.1 compatible).

Thanks for any feedback!

At this point, they are almost as good as other. Just how you look at it. So don't worry about anything, just find the one that look nice and fit your hard drive.

I recommend one that includes an additional power adapter. Some laptops or desktop systems will not provide enough power through the USB ports to power the enclosure, forcing the user to go out and buy a 5VDC 1A power adapter to power the enclosure.

Get one that has drivers for all the o/s's you want to use it with.
