Shopping for External Enclosure

[HELP_ME]

Hey guys i need a portable HD for school. i was looking at portable drives but they were all over priced and only 5400rmp. i can get a much better internal HDD and shove it in an enclosure for a much cheaper price with way better speds. i know which HDD im buying

ive looked on alot of websites but i cant really find any enclosures for a decent price ($35 max CDN). i want a quality enclosure, looks are not that important. if you do see anything worth buying please use canadian websites!

here are some of the ones ive found so far that i like most, so if anyone has any experience with the company or product let me know!

[The_Other_One]

For the most part, an enclosure is an enclosure. The only real difference is the chipset, but most function identically... I'd just search around for ones that have many good reviews.

Something else you may want to consider is a 2.5" drive/enclosure. It may be more expensive, but you can typically run the drive without external power. I don't know how mobile you plan on being, but this can really be nice at times.
