The main difference is that the Sabrent is a recognized and reliable brand with a warranty and faster shipping from a U.S. distributor, and the ones on eBay are drop-shipped generics from Hong Kong with no warranty that will take as much as three weeks to arrive (these are cheap enough that the warranty doesn't matter, but the warranty isn't about replacement, it's more of an indicator of the quality of the product).

There's not supposed to be any tax if you're in California and shipping is free. You shouldn't pay more than $5.00.
Thanks, you're right. i tried order the 2nd one and it's $5.00 using google checkout. my 1st order was $5.45 using paypal. i think Shop4tech might be tricking people who isn't paying attention. Thanks for the heads up though. i'll drop them an email and see what happens? ...i know i know for $0.45 it's worth the effort
I ordered one of these. One thing I didn't like about it was that the USB connector isn't a 'mini-usb. plug. It's a standard 'type a' plug. I believe a type-a to type-a plug is rather rare, so I'm worried about losing it, and not being able to use the drive. Also, I thought a type-a was the only type to go into a computer, one needed a type-b or mini-usb to go into a device...
I know that most of you already know this, but just in case, for those who don't..this is a 2.5" HD enclosure..meant to fit a laptop HD..not for a 3.5" normal sized desktop HD.
