I need an external one, but one of the 3.5" ones (big guys (IMG:[

If you keep the hdd always in the same place, the 3.5 ones with external AC/DC power supply are the safer ones.
yep, i too keep them where they are. but usually i prefer to buy internal ones and an external aluminium case. even if you have to use a screwdriver, it's more versatile of a solution than what it may seem.
back then i also thought about a plug-and-play one like this:

but i couldn't find one with USB3, integrated card reader and two slots so i didn't think too much about it.
