    Im planning on getting a external enclosure from NewEgg for doing backups.
    Using their search function For external enclosures, with a 2.5 drive, no power adapter and a usb 2.0 interface. I get a list of quite a few enclosures.
    I know nothing about what i should be looking/looking out for in a enclosure.
    Can someone point me in the right direction.
    I have 4 computers total. 2 at one location 2 at another location.
    of those 4. Two run Win98se and the other 2 are XP.
    I want at least a 80 gig hard drive.

    Since I will be hauling this thing back and forth often, I wanted to do away with the power adapter thing. Is that a bad idea?

    Help please
