Still I do not schleirhaft why a single, bare hard drive will cost more than the same disk with USB enclosure around it. This HDD Intenso I have now bought the third time and it costs as external HDD good 20 less than the individually built plate. In the last two cases a WD Green was built, in the first there was a Seagate. I verbaue the plates internally, I open after a short function test to the USB port, the housing and gather the plate. With a little skill can be the case dismantle destructively. When using a normal small screwdriver Although arise grooves at the edges, but with better suitable tools these could also be avoided. The board itself is then screwed only and can be easily entommen. Should I again soon need a large HDD, I'll probably grab again this Intenso.
