    heyy everyone
    I'm in the market of getting a new hard drive enclosure for my new 3.5" hard drive and I don't know which one to get.
    What do you guys think I should get?
    It should look decent and have good ventilation

    They're generally all pretty generic and function exactly the same.

    Just go out to your local computer store or hop onto newegg or some reputable site and find one thats in your price range and has the aesthetics you like. It's hnt very hard to keep a hard drive reasonably cool so that shouldnt be much of an issue.
