    Which external should i get? They both appear to be the same. Also what does that mean it only supports up to 750gig? That can't be right? I never heard external being limited to a set space. Also one is 10 bucks cheaper so if there really is no difference than i guess the cheaper one right? Also i'll be using a 1TB and a 2TB hardrive.

    I'd take the Vantec. I bought some model with e-SATA and USB for 10 bucks. Very solidly built.

    We've had problems with Kingwin stuff at work. Like a Kingwin adapter fried 3 hard drives lol.

    I have a different Vantec enclosure and it has worked flawlessly.

    Highly recommend.
