    Zgemma boxes are affordable and fairly well-specified or if you have deeper pockets there are Gigablue and Vu+ offerings although not necessarily better value.

    I wouldn't let that drive your decision on buying a box.

    Pretty much anyone with a laptop is buying an SSD at the moment so there are a flood of cheap second hand 2.5 inch HDDs on the market.

    +1 on that - 2.5" drive will be quieter, cooler running than a 3.5". Obviously, an SSD would be totally silent but is somewhat of an overkill in an E2 box where that level of performance is not required.
