    Comstar is just a 3rd string packager - what brand and model of HDD is in there? I'll bet you can't find out. Then you see it's purchaser rating is less than 60% I made my own for less than $75. US and it works fine. I'd suggest you do the same. Then you'll know the quality of the drive, etc.

    I agree with zepper. Go to Newegg or TigerDirect. You can buy a drive and enclosure with IDE to USB plugs for the same price or less and know exactly what you have. There is no skill involved in putting one of these jobs together.

    Come on people - the OP is in Canada, thus the link to futureshop. Linking to newegg is useless to him.
