Nice thing about getting a USB hard disk drive is, in MOST configurations, you can easily just take the thing apart and you have a perfectly usable internal hard disk, and you can use the rest as a new enclosure kit for any future hard disks you come across.
Keep in mind that the boxes don't always illuminate this fact (for some reason they like to keep that a secret) so it's hard to say if you are getting a SATA or ATA drive in that enclosure. It's pretty easy to tell if it's laptop or desktop though :D.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
