Technobob Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm having a hard time to find a HD enclosure that uses SATA for the drive interface and has FireWire & USB I like the MiniStack v2 but it has IDE interface for the drive so no good and they don't seem to want to return my emails asking if they have a SATA planed. The few SATA enclosures I found only have eSATA and USB but not FireWire. I don't want to spend more then $80CAD each because I need to buy four of them.

alloutmacstoday Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 i have a sata enclosure (but for notebook drives only) that has firewire, and you can probably get an adapter to make it usb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asap18 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 just buy two of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817716028 Most sata enclosures are nice since they are hot swappable and RAID 0 == Speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technobob Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Those are better priced then the ones I found but the only draw back is they are made by Metal Gear. I bought 2 IDE to eSATA enclosures from them and one the power supply died and the other the controller board died, so I'm afraid to buy from them again but thanks anyway. Here are the ones I found and they will look great with my MacBook Pro that I'm ordering in 2 weeks. http://fwdepot.com/thestore/product_info.p...roducts_id/1772 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asap18 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 the look almost the same, although neweggs policy is great if they ever fail you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technobob Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 One big problem with Newegg is they don't ship to Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
