I have bought one of these before. The only reason I don't use it anymore is because I got a 1TB external drive for $50 shipped off of eBay! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif Can't remember the seller's name, but I know they used the EagleTech brand, and Western Digital hard drives.

You got some pics of it? What Brand? Does it require an AC adapter?

if you dont want an external power adapter you need to look into 2.5" laptop drives which are more expensive

if you can deal with an external power adapter i have an external case that i can load with any size drive you want

this is the encosure:
