External HDD help

[Sandmaster500]

Hi, looking to make a nice portable bus powered HDD.
Will:

and
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-013-BT

Are these the best going? I've had seagates and they have always been reliable (desktop versions so i assume laptop ones are the same). Not sure about the one touch thing on the icybox but it might be useful and is only a little over a pound more than This .

Thanks for any help

The drive should be fine, there's no need to go for a 7200rpm one since the USB bus will be the bottleneck. Caddy looks fine too, I'm not sure how good the one touch feature will be but for a pound it's worth a try, even if it's naff you'll still be able to use the drive as normal.
