[MacDV] Re: re hard drive enclosure

[Preston]

Erica,

Thanks for your input on those enclosures. Sounds like they will do 
the trick for me.

Currently I have a couple other single drive enclosures that work 
well. The one I really like is labled as Bytecc (yes with 2 
c's)(approx. $45-50).  It's an all aluminum model with no internal 
fan, so it is very quiet. I leave it plugged into my iMac all the 
time. When not in use the HD spins down and is nice an quite. But 
when I need to access it, it's there. It just sleeps when I sleep the 
iMac and is ready for work when the iMac wakes up.

Now I don't know how it will work in a high use situation where 
someone is spinning it hard for 8-10hrs a day. I always wondered if 
the heat would breakdown the HD or if the AL inclosure would 
diasapate the heat well enough. anyhow it works fine for my 2-3 hr 
sessions.

*And it has a nifty blue LED on the front so you can tell when it's 
accessing the HD.
