External Drive - Build vs Buy

[jpsolo1946]

Hello,
I am looking for a USB 3.0 external HDD. I see a lot of external drives from Seagate, WD, etc. but invariably they all seem to have a lot of bad user reviews. A friend suggested that I buy a reliable internal drive and an enclosure and VOILA, I have an external drive. Any comments on the wisdom of "build" or "buy".

Buy one of these and a HD.
