Final decission on USB 2.0 enclosure/hard drive...

[Canon]

Well you guys reccomended I get a Saegate hard drive and an Enermax enclosure.

Do you know if I will have problems running NTFS file system on the drive in the enclosure? I'd like to have a single partition on the drive for use with my laptop which is running Windows XP Pro.

This is the drive I want to put in it.

exactly what i'm using
ntfs and fat32 both work fine

fat32 has better recoverability
ntfs is faster

Sorry, i'm from Canada so I can't get anything from Newegg (or that's where i'd be shopping).

Probably comes out fairly close though since the Canadian dollar is around 76-77 cents american right now. Thanks for the advice though.
