I'm looking at getting this hard drive:

Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drives - OEM

http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822136284

And I would like to know what is a good external dock that has eSata that I can buy.

I hear some of them don't have fast eSata connections and/or have problems.

I bought the WD1001FALS and tried to use it with a SYBA SY-ENC35001 3.5" USB 2.0 External Enclosure but for some reason my computers will not see the hard drive. They see something on the USB port but I cannot find the harddrive to use it. I would appreciate the help in getting this hard drive and case working.

Just checking....did you remember to go into Disk Management in Windows and initialize, partition, and format the new drive?
