I need to get an external Hard drive, and wanted to get some Point of View on something I was thinking about. Obviously, if you buy an enclosure, and then a hard drive, and marry them (ha), it's usually cheaper because SATA/IDE drives tend to be lower per GB then if you buy a pre-enclosed device.
What are the pros/cons to doing this, versus buying one that is already enclosed?
EDIT: I know the main one is that you can swap the drive or upgrade if you go the enclosure path, but that won't be happening here.
