    Better HD for building an external HD?

    Thanks. That is basically what I was looking for. Would you stick with this size or is the 1TB size worth it? I've been reading that the 640GB size might be the best because it uses only 2 platters. The $25 price difference really is no big deal to me but I just want to get the best drive I can...

    Fantom GreenDrive 1TB External

    I've been reading about this over at Slickdeals. Looks like according to people who have bought this on Newegg that it is a WD Green drive inside. Can anyone rec a good sata card or adapter? My harddrive has sata controllers on the inside but nothing on the outside.

    Need A Hard Drive Deal

    Looking for a SATA drive that I can turn into an external hard drive. Or an external hard drive. Looking at the 750GB - 1 TB range because I like the price point. Let me know what you find... PS - I'm also looking for a external enclosure. Let me know what you find there as well...

    [DEAD]Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive (bare drive) - OEM

    Would this be a good drive to make into an external drive? Or is the firmware thing enough to make me look elsewhere?
