I normally buy the enclosure and then buy a drive

^ I have built seriously around 50 external drives using that enclosure. Then put your own SATA drive in it, that way you dont get some cheap ass drive that breaks after a week.

Bass, they might seem the same but sometimes one drive may break easily, be too hot or generally be noisy as hell.

Thanks Cole, I might just do that.

But all I hear are good things about the 500gb and that it is very reliable.
