You couldn't have found a more articulate person to make this video? Holy shit.

you forgot to mention to check height, 7mm, 9.5mm, 12.5mm. That's what screwed me over today when my HDD enclosure finally came in. I'm pretty sure my HDD is a 9.5mm but it has these bumps that knock it up to 10mm, unless I measured wrong and it's a 12.5mm. needless to say, it just didn't fit and now I have to send my enclosure back to Newegg and order a new one :(

or you could get a flash drive......

@fataxe1 A 2TB flash drive?

[fataxe1]

@ludo42 when he was talking about backing up data and transferring it. i will say i have a 350 gig. hard drive and so far i have used 40 gigs..... so a two terabyte drive is a little crazy for backup. unless you are using it for an htpc that constantly records television.

@fataxe1 hard drive space disappears quick as hell once you start storing HD video on it. Or loss-less audio files.

Note: Don't use a magnetic-tipped screwdriver when working on electronics :P.

@gr3y Why not? It doesn't do anything to any of them, it's not strong enough. You'd need a friggin strong magnet to cause any real damage to a hard drive, and somewhat strong to damage anything else. I mean, it has hardly enough magnetic power to pick up the screw, but just enough to pick it up anyway.
