I have had two USB2 external hard disk enclosures. The first which was a shintaro(supposedly a good brand) died after about 12 months. The second is a no-name brand from the computer markets, it cost about half as much as the first and is still going strong. I am currently using a 160GB Hard Disk in it, but you can easily put whatever you want in it. Computer markets are the way to go. I think I paid about $30 for mine and then put my own Hard Disk in it. It is a shame you don't have firewire as I find you get slightly better performance from it. USB2 is up to 480Mbps. Firewire is always 400Mbps.
