Well after debating just gonna try to go with another hdd for the system. I got my ES2 250gb from seagate sitting in closet. And currently a 500GB wd black in this one, and have a wd external drive with 320gb. so far about 900gb or 1TB of storage all together. \

but I think I'm gonna need an enclosure. I'm planning to pick up another 500gb, my budget is very low at this point and this is all I plan to purchase till february.

what should I look for in an enclosure.
Fans????

Esata??? is that better than USB2.0??? and by how much???

also any good manufactuers for enclosures because I seen a lot???

I wanted to get that one but I think there might be some issues against it such as airflow,
seems to just combine the hdds into one big drive. basically JBOD, but not really sure if you could compare to raid at all, figured it would help since I would have odd numbered drives.
