I'm hesitant to buy any enclosed drive boxes like that since:
1) more often than not, they use multiple drives in raid 0 (half-ing your MTTF)
2) they are not customer serviceable at all
Is the data that is going to be stored on this drive backed up anywhere? Or is this the backup drive for your computer?
If this is the backup drive for your computer, you can get cheaper and more reliable solutions by getting an enclosure and a 2 TB hard drive.
This has the added bonus of being able to swap out the hard drive if needed, and you can hook it up with esata if you have an free slot on your motherboard.
If the data on the drive is not stored anywhere else (bad Jorlem!) I would seriously consider buying a small raid box.
These can range anywhere from the low end dumb raid boxes to high end drobo boxes.
