I want to buy an external USB 3.0 enclosure, But would like to know if I should get a USB 3.0 external drive that already has a hdd. Like a WD MyBook 3.0 or get a external enclosure and another drive.

I read somewhere that if you use a drive with an enclosure thats USB3.0 that the drive wouldnt be as fast as if it was like a external like the WD MyBook 3.0 that it would be slower?
 
whatever enclosure you get, you need a hard drive that is compatable with it; transfer speeds are only as fast as the slowest part of the link. if you put a slow drive in a fast enclosure, you will be limited by the slow drive speed. it makes no difference if you buy them together or separately.
