I got myself one of these, in my opinion the best looking external ever.
The thing is I can't seem to find (or take myself) a singel picture that really does it justice. It alway looks extremly cheap and plastic, which it neither looks or feels like irl.
Can you stack 'em?
Yep!
There used to be a more mobile 2x2 studs version aswell, wich also was stackable with these

Where did u get your enclosure?
My Drobo. And that drive sitting on top of it would be a Seagate drive that died on me yesterday. I just got it about a month ago, as an RMA replacement for another Seagate drive that crapped out. After their website charged my credit card 4 times for the RMA shipping charge despite saying my card was declined, and not letting me process the RMA, I decided to cut my losses and order a Western Digital drive from NewEgg, and will file a dispute with my bank if the authorization goes through to a charge.
But I love the Drobo. Both times the drive died, it did it's thing and I didn't go a single second without access to my data.

160GB WD Passport. Got it a year and half ago and it's still running fine. At one time it only had a few MB's left.
640GB WD MyBook. Got it a couple months ago. I love this thing and it has all the space I could ever want. Although, give me about 6-9 more months and it will be full.
I greatly recommend a Western Digital for anyone looking into an external hard drive.
Sorry for the horrible picture quality, they were taken with my crappy camera phone.
