  Pricing? The seagate 320gb external box is $99.99 on sale, whereas 
buying a 320gb drive + an enclosure is (from newegg, for the sake of 
argument) $80 + $18.99. Hm. Okay, it doesn't make sense.

  I guess the thing is that J.Random Consumer won't want to bother 
buying an enclosure and a drive and putting them together, whereas 
buying an all-in-one external storage box saves that hassle.
