I figured it was something like that. I have a similar device for recovering files. Again, I would do with the WD Black as it is more reliable.

If you have a USB 3.0 port, I highly recommend a WD Passport. I use it to transfer movies and gaming videos between computers. Instead of transferring over the network it is much faster via USB. Even with an AC router. I also use it to watch movies on my TV as well. It was about $60. I believe they have a 2TB for $80. If you are in the USA, they may have sales tomorrow.

I'm sorry, forgot to mention it. The HDDs I am looking for are internal SATAIII type not external (usb3.0, firewire ...). Anyway thanks

If you are gong to be using a SATA cable, then you may want to invest in a eSATA card. There is no point in disconnecting hard drives all the time. Unless you already have a set up for something like this. I would go with WD Black as it offers a bit better performance over the green or blue.

I'm using this device that connects SATAIII internal disks to USB 3.0, that's why I want them this way, because the cost of the internal is cheaper.
