Like most laptop users, I'm trying to add more HDD space that exceed that offered by current 2.5 drives. Plus, it's a company laptop.
So the question becomes: Should I get a pre-fabbed external HDD made by Maxtor or WD? OR should I use an internal HDD with an enclosure?
I'm concerned w/ the following: speed, ease of install, reliability, ease of use
If your opinion lies in favor of the enclosure method, which brands should I look at? IOGear, Enermax, Generic? I was looking at the IOGear specifically, if I was going this route, but I have yet to find any reviews.
Couple more thing... I'm looking for this to be 200+ GB. Does anyone know if the pre-fab ones can be opened to swap the HDD?
Thanks in advance for any input.
