Looking for a good 3.5 enclosure?

[ingeborgdot]

What is a 3.5" enclosure that is supposed to be a very good one. I want to make another external hdd for my friend because he is going to store and transfer videos for football films to watch and move around from computer to computer. I have used 2.5 enclosures and found Vantec to be good. What is your opinion on this subject? Thanks.

good heat sink or fan and good PSU
most of the usb boards are the same
look at seagates new line of mini drives

Vantec makes good Enclosures I have two of their 2.5 ones. Bytecc makes good 3.5 enclosures with a built in fan for cooilng ( dont get an enclosure that does not have a fan)and are reasonably priced. Newegg carries bytecc enclosures.
