    Not too much advice, but in my experiences do not get a cheap off-brand enclosure for a branded drive. I've had several give read errors, have power issues, and die only a few months into it. The two you listed above seem to be decent quality, especially when we're talking a matter of $15/20 difference. Good luck!
