This is a good point.  I suspect that this enclosure has a smaller 
footprint then the Maxtor 'one-touch.'  Also, if you plan on moving the 
thing around a lot, a laptop harddrive would be a better choice as they 
are designed to handle a bit more of such handling.  I've carried my 
Maxtor 'one-touch' around and never had any problems, but the laptop 
size enclosures are about 1/4 the size of this thing.

Of course you get what you pay for, the laptop drive/enclosure will end 
up costing more, but you're paying for the reduced size and mobility design.

The maxtor has an external power source as well, I don't know if any of 
these devices can use the usb power, maybe Adrin can share?
