Nice article here http://lifehacker.com/5955402/five-best-drive-enclosures about HDD enclosures.
They had a couple I hadn't heard about before, though they missed one I like, http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/on-the-go is expensive, but I like the looks and the USB 3.0 & Firewire, I don't normally use Firewire, so the two of my machines that have Firewire on them, always have that available.
USB ports on the other hand, tend to be in short supply, I probably should get a good powered USB hub.
The other thing I like about the OWC On The Go Pro, is that you can get external power adapter for it, http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MOTGPWR/
With the external power adapter, and a OTG cable, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FUNYSA/, I can use the external HDD with the Galaxy Note 2 I am getting myself for Christmas.
OTG cables don't provide power, so they can't power HDD or optical drives.
