Looks good to me... Enclosure has Firewire,USB. Both devices are ATA. Usb hub looks fine. You should be good to go! I built a 250GB External a year ago, and it works great. I do video encoding and playing over mine Firewire. The only thing that seemed to hiccup is uncompressed Video, but if you are trying to store and play that, just get a tera-byte network drive hooked up 1000mbps
 . Your choices look fine, I'm sure you'll love it!Double Post: Also, you can't run internal harddrives (3.5's) externally without a Power Supply. USB puts out a small amount of power, not enough to turn a HD at 7200 RPM. USB can power 5400 RPM 2.5 laptop HD's. I had a external enclosure that powered a 40GB laptop HD with only the USB cable. 40GB portable HD the size of an iPod... Rocking!!!!

Video and music playback very well over external HDs. It's not rocket science, you picked fine stuff. Now buy it already!!  The only thing to watch for is doing multiple things simultaneously that use the USB hub. For instance, plugging in 2 HD's and having one file transfer while one is video playing. Try to avoid situations like that by putting highly unused stuff on the hub first (printer, scanner, trinkets, iPod connector, etc.). Other than an extreme scenario like that, you will not notice a difference between internal and external. There's nowhere I can't reach. ~ Ready To Strike ~ :Currently Playing: League Of Legends(PC), Skyrim(PC), Golden Sun: Lost Age(GBA), Twilight Princess(Wii), Portal2(PC), Dragon Warrior II(NES), Metroid Prime 2: Echoes(GC)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. ~ Ready To Strike ~ :Currently Playing: League Of Legends(PC), Skyrim(PC), Golden Sun: Lost Age(GBA), Twilight Princess(Wii), Portal2(PC), Dragon Warrior II(NES), Metroid Prime 2: Echoes(GC)

Sounds about right for ATA-100 through USB. Glad to see you got it working!!
