What Mike said about the warranty. Some of the laptop-derived 2.5" USB drives don't have a SATA drive inside them, instead they have a USB-only controller card. I hope this practice hasn't spread to 3.5" drives yet.
Also, some of the external cases are a royal pain to take apart, especially Maxtor and Seagate ones. And if you open it the Gojira way, you'll never get it back together in one piece again. I speak from experience.
