    Hey people. I think I am going to get an external hard drive soon and I was wondering (for people who've used enclosure hds) is it simple to install the hard drive yourself into those cases? I am shopping on this website, and if I can install the hd myself, I could save at least 10-15 dollars. So any suggestion if its simple or not? Thanks.

    All of the enclosures are designed for easy installation. They will come with instructions, and some are even screwless.

    What brands are u considering?

    For most enclosures that I have seen are either a door or 2 screws and just slide it in it is very easy. :)

    Right now I am thinking about Cintre. They are really cheap and looks pretty good.
