Macally PHR-250CC FireWire IEEE 1394a

$42.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i used the enclosure with a toshiba laptop hard drive and it is faster enough for me to edit dv over firewire if the drive is fairly empty.
from www.amazon.com
adding a drive to the enclosure is a simple matter of removing two side screws, removing the rear cover where the device's usb and ieee 1394 firewire inputs are located, and then sliding in the drive
from owentough, www.shopping.com
review: this drive enclosure looks very robust, however our testing shows that it does not work on 667, 866, or 1gb powerbooks, via the firewire interface.
from concino, www.shopping.com
pros: both firewire and usb 2.0 support, solid aluminum case.
from km21, www.shopping.com
5 minutes after i opened the box i was up and running with my mac on both usb and firewire.

$54.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i use them with firewire and you have to import the drive for the my computer to see them.

Data Robotics DR04DD10 Serial ATA

$484.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's a usb 2.0 or firewire 800/400 (that's ieee1394 or ilink to some people) external drive enclosure that will hold up to 4 sata drives of any capacity.
from www.amazon.com
you simply load in your hard drives, plug it into your computer with usb or firewire and drobo configures your drives to fully protect your data.
from www.pcnation.com
they could have made the optional network docking station a little cheaper for users that want to go that route and included bilingual firewire cable for what you pay for the device.
from www.amazon.com
a few days later i changed over to firewire 800 using a belkin 3-port firewire 800 card that i just got.
from kyle, www.newegg.com

Antec MX-1 USB 2.0

$64.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
and if you use the esata interface, you'll find the performance to be equivalent to that of an internal drive, which is nothing short of spectacular if you've previously only used firewire or usb2
from www.amazon.com
a couple of months ago, i would have lamented it's lack of firewire capability, but since apple has dropped it from most of it latest lineup, that isn't a problem anymore.

it's not quite as "cool" as say the 250 gb western digital special edition firewire drive, but it's easy to assemble, it works, and it's cheap.

Icydock MB559UEA-1S FireWire IEEE 1394a

$72.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it requires no drivers for mac or windows, and using firewire it's about as speedy as lacie products - i didn't test the usb 2.0 port's speed.
from www.amazon.com
does what you expect, firewire, etc.
from cybertron3, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: tried this thing with firewire and usb on 2 different pc's with no luck.pulled the drive and connected it straight to my desktop and the drive works fine so the "dock" is dead.
from www.amazon.com
runs great on my macbook pro (2.4 ghz), final cut pro 6, and firewire 400.
