Benefits
The main reason for buying this enclosure has got to be that it's so easy to reuse an older hard drive or to install a shiny new large capacity version into the device. You can then use it for backups, storing data or temporary work. What ever your needs for additional storage it is here for a low cost especially if you revive a pre upgrade hard drive.
I already have an external hard drive and did spend some time deciding if to buy a version all ready installed or to buy them separately. In my case there wasn't much difference in price and I went for the pre-made version purely because I had a small amount of credit owed to me from an online store.
If you research the options as well I think you will find that there isn't much in it and you may prefer to do it yourself, especially if you have a drive in mind for the task.
