[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 372662, member: 24160"] Just an update on where I am at with my search and a little more recommendations. Anyone just looking for least expensive option, just get yourself the USB external. Personally recommend the new Seagates or the WD MyBook line since you will get either a 5yr or 3 yr warranty with these for an extra $10-20 over the price of the Maxtor and it's 1yr. Newegg price currently on the WD is $139 for a 500GB USB. For myself, am torn between getting the OWC AL Pro (is less expensive than the plastic case they are carrying) with eSATA/FW800/FW400/USB which comes with a Maxtor MaXLine Pro 500 SATA drive instead of IDE like most of their other enclosures vs. just buying this case and then getting either a WD SE16 or the WD RE2. Yeah, yeah, I know, I put to much into my decisions on this stuff. [/QUOTE]
