Internal fan (reviews are ambivalent though), compact power adapter, bracket included; up to 500GB.

The OKGEAR OK350AU2S1-K looks like any other enclosure, except that it claims to support up to 1TB.

I already have a 320GB drive that I’ll mount in, and am more concerned about portability (therefore the Rosewill AC adapter seems interesting).

Happy holidays!

depends on if you were planning on going up to a tb in the near future. newegg reviews are some of the most reliable i have found on the web so i would go with the best rated on there depending on the space i needed. that said i would go with the OKGEAR, if portability is a must then i would go with the rosewill, i personally would never see a reason to run around with more than 500 gb of stuff so the rosewill would be fine. good luck.
