Enclosure for the Seagate Momentus 5400.2 ST9100823A?

Will the Seagate Momentus 5400.2 ST9100823A drive:
http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/...81,635,00.html
work well in either of these enclosures:

http://www.sabrent.com/products/specs/SBT-ESU25.htm
?

It looks like it will fit physically. I've seen some enclosures that specify a maximum drive size, but neither of those state one. Is this an issue given the drive's size? Perhaps there's a size limitation in the mass storage device USB driver?

What enclosure would you recommend?

I got this one http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16817146035
because it was the cheapest on newegg with USB2 and Firewire and it got decent reviews. I think they all work fairly well. I haven't had any problems wis this type or the Bytec ones.

Check out one of these two:

Either one should work, and for $10, you can't really go wrong!

Thanks for the recommendations! I think I'll go with the combo enclosure - I didn't know they were that cheap. This one also states "up to 80GB or above" though I don't think size would have been an issue with any other one.

Jimmymac and others, thanks for the recommendations! I finally got that drive into the Coolmax COMBO enclosure Jimmymac recommended. It works wonderfully, I get 26MB/s in the SiSandra with it plugged in via firewire and powered by USB on my Vaio PCG-GR300 (a bit old by now). The internal drive only gets something like 13MB/s. Anyway, thanks again!
