I've been looking for a decent looking/functioning HDD enclosure that's relatively cheap. Newegg has hundreds of them, so I decided to ask for y'all's help.

It's for a 3.5" SATA HDD that I have in my PC I'm looking to sell. I think I want it to connect via Ethernet to my network so I can use it as a backup. I'm planning on using my current MacBook HDD as a portable external (maybe getting a Macally enclosure) but would like something to act as a backup.

I don't want to spend too much because, since the 3.5" is only 160GB, I MAY need a larger one later on down the road, and I don't want to spend too much on all this (I'd go and get a FreeAgent if that was the case).

This is my first time buying an enclosure, so I'd appreciate everyone's opinions.

Another thing is, should I just skip all of this and get a FreeAgent?
