I just came into possession of 2 new 160GB hard drives. One will be going into my Xbox and the other I am looking at making into an external USB hard drive for backups.

I have been searching around online and I keep coming up with a bunch of different cases but no real reviews of any. Has anybody bought one and currently using it? Any suggestions?

I've used probably five different IDE/USB and IDE/firewire enclosures. In my experience it's commodity technology and works reasonably well regardless of vendor. Early on they were pretty expensive, so I got one and put one of those IDE drive swapping carrier enclosures inside the USB/firewire enclosure. Then I would just switch the carriers. Nowadays they're pretty darn cheap, and I'm only surprised that drive manufacturers don't package them by default for their retail distributions. :)
