Here are the parts: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182210 (black) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182211 (silver) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284 (WD 1 TB HDD) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148433 (Seagate 1 TB HDD) I have both these HDDs in 2 separate enclosures; working well for over a year!
