At present iam having Seagate 320Gb and 640GB WD HDD(Both SATA). I have ordered NAS/Torrent Downloader from Dealextreme($41.23) and will be recieving soon.

So iam thinking of making Seagate 320GB HDD as external drive and connecting it to the downloader and also use it as backup drive.

So i have 2 questions:

1. Will the 320GB HDD work with the dealextreme device?

2. Which External HDD enclosure should i buy?

I have budget ~1.2k. What are the options available for External HDD Casing/Enclosure..?

Casing with eSATA would be awesome...

^^Thanks for that..
But is there any other bit cheaper option available?
I mean Is 2k odd bucks worth just for a Casing??

Dude... this is Transcend, not some el cheapo Chinese casing... Its rock solid.. You will not find an E-Sata casing at your price point.. USB one can be found dime a dozen. Remember you will be running your casing in a downloading setup & they tend to heat up a lot. So active cooling with a fan is recommended which is built in with this casing...

Totally worth your money & since its Transcend it will have solid build quality unlike Chinese ones which are highly unreliable...
 
@manu,

I will connect HDD to my PC using eSATA port and transfer the data..

Looks like i will have to increase my budget to 2k and go for Transcend.

So is there any other model in 2k range??
