2.5 external hard drive enclosure - USB 3.0??

[GtotheK]

What's up everyone,
I'm looking into getting an external exclosure...should I stick with good old USB 2.0, or look into getting USB 3? Is it too new to get it? Anyone have one they are currently using? Appreciate the advice....

not much point in spending the extra money on USB 3.0 since your computer can't use it.

I heard there are drivers to make it compatible?

No, you don't have USB 3.0 hardware, so it's not a driver issue.

So can you recommend some 2.0 ones?

I'd be interested in knowing what drive enclosure you got and how you like it, if you have time.
