    Looks about right. Thanks

    That Brando drive looks just like the Vantec branded enclosures. Must be from the same OEM. I'll likely go the Brando route.

    The Lenovo W510 I have on order has USB 3.0. I'm getting this PCI card for the desktop

    This one uses a SATA power cable instead of the 4-pin molex on the others I've seen. Should make cable management a bit easier.
