This makes no sense to me. Where did you hear that you have to have your own enclosure if you plan to use it more than eight hours a day?

well can you use an internal drive without putting it in an enclosure? I have no idea about it so you tell me....

Well yes, you can put it into your computer like it was meant to be put. =P
Otherwise, there's nothing stopping anyone from using an external, custom enclosure or not, for as long as they feel like. There are plenty of users on BBT who seed 24/7 from external drives.

Kind of skipped over the bulk of the topic, but I will chime in with some HDD suggestions.
The best I've generally found are the samsung F3 and F4 respectively. The F3 is the faster 7200rpm drive with 1TB storage, and the F4 is the slower 5200rpm (I think that's the figure) drive with 2TB storage.
Or it might be the other way around. However, for the price of them they're absolutely brilliant. They've been doing me fine for a long time now.

I bet you got those drives before the recent Seagate/Samsung merger. Now that Seagate is in the picture, you should be a bit more careful about recommending Samsung drives.
Also, they should be 5400rpm. No drive spins at 5200rpm afaik. Seagate has the special 5900s, but that's it.
