    What brand of enclosures are good for making a 500 gb enclosure.

    I have the 500 gb seagate 16mb HDD SATA.

    Is the Cintre ZDisc 1-Buttion Instant Backup 3.5-inch External Hard Drive Enclosure good?

    How about the extremepcgear silver enclosure.

    These two enclosures were posted on bensbargains.net on 8/24/2006.

    Please help! Thanks!

    Here's a link to newegg's SATA hard drive enclosures here

    I personally have the kingwin USB/SATA combo enclosure (there are two identical looking ones but one is USB only), and it works great. I'm not sure if it supports 500GB though... it should.

    Dang it doesn't. I looked at manufacturers site, only up to 400 gb.

    Anyone heard anything about the Census PCSerial ATA SATA 3.5-inch IDE to USB 2.0 Aluminum Enclosure Case Black Retail
