Can anyone recommend a good external case (preferably that you've used) to go along with this?

Not a bad price. Another idea is for $30 more you can get a sata 3 (6 GB/s) with a 64 mb cache. Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6822136533

Thumbed and repped...SATA 6GB is overrated even at 7200 rpm there is no physical way to achieve 3 let alone surpass it.

Sure it's a low price, but you can get significantly bigger and even with external enclosure for just a little bit more...

How is the F3 faster? The WD has the same RPM but also has a 64 MB cache versus only a 32 MB with the F3. Last edited by the1rockstar; 09-30-2011 at 10:45 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

F3 Warranty 3 years
Caviar Black warranty 5 years The Caviar Black also gets a little faster read and seek times in benchmarks but I doubt you'd notice it a whole lot. I'd just go with the F3 unless you want to spend extra for extra warranty. |

I have been thinking about the fact that $40-50 seems to be the absolute floor for any mechanical hard drive, and it's disappointing, but aside from the actual ICs in the HDD, everything else is mechanical or electromechanical, and often those things are much of a fixed cost. The HDD manufacturers are already producing at such a high volume that the Aluminum chassis, magnetic platter, etc just really have no room to come down in price much (i.e. can't make them smaller like with newer technology ICs).
So, the best we can get is better motors that allow higher density platters, which is why 2-3 years ago, 500GB was ~$50, and now it's 1TB. In a year or two, it will be ~2TB for $50 when 2TB can be fit on one or two platters. Dunno... just a thought. BTW: TU and repped.
