You want an external enclosure? Or complete setup?

I don't think I've seen a 3.5" HDD Enclosure that didn't come with a power button/switch...

Unless you mean a 2.5" HDD enclosure, which are usually USB powered (in which case you can just "eject drive" and unplug)...

No, sorry no inclosure, a external hard drive that has eSATA connection as well as firewire.

Why don't you just unplug it from the back of the drive?

Power button is on the back of the unit, right above the eSATA port.

I know it is 500GB, and not 320, but that is the best price for either of the 2, so might as well get the 500GB. What a bargain!

*EDIT* You are in California, so you have to pay taxes. I will look around for a better alternative, if it exists...

Here is the 320GB from eCost for $67 shipped - http://www.ecost.com/detail.aspx?edp...i_sku=41905906

The one that space balls recommended would probably be your best bet.
