I currently need something to move files between a couple computers. Although once I am finished transferring those files I was maybe planning on implementing a redundant backup. I am split on buying an all in one external or getting an Enclosure and some kind of internal drive. As far as I can tell, the cost is relatively the same, with regular externals edging out enclosed internals by 10 or 20 bucks. Although the enclosure option appears to be much faster especially over sata rather than usb 2.0 or firewire 400/800. I was looking at this combo, what do you think.

Because I was considering a redundant backup I thought a clone of my current drive would be best.
