I have a little Zotac box for my HTPC with a small SSD in for speed, I need something to keep my media on including bluray iso's until I get my network at home sorted at which point I will sort my homeserver out and just stream them.

Requirements will be a large disk 2tb I rekon. Which means a 3 1/2" disk enclosure. I have both USB2 and a single esata port. To my knowledge all 3 1/2" disks are externally powered as the USB bus won't supply enough power? And needs to be fanless

Any off the shelf that have esata?
Or which enclosure/hdd should I go for? As mentioned esata would be preferable but not essential

Needs to be fairly pretty as its going to be on show to a degree.

Many thanks,
