firewire hd (bus powered) or case recommendation sought

[Mike Stanley]

I need to buy either a bus-powered firewire hard drive (complete) or, 
if the price is so much more right, buy a separate firewire enclosure 
and stick a 2.5 inch drive inside it.  Does anyone have a good 
recommendation for a brand and a reseller for either or both?


One thing I would almost consider is replacing the 30 gig drive in my 
TiBook 667 with a larger drive and using it with an enclosure but it is 
still under warranty (and will be for 2 more years) so I'm not sure how 
I or my employer would feel about that as I'm assuming it would void 
the warranty.

Speed is not my ultimate goal here - portability and decent size is.  I 
want to be able to partition the drive and carry around multiple CCC 
rebuild images in addition to having a goodly amount of space for 
transporting semi-large amounts of files.  No digital video - which is 
why 30 gigs seems like it would be enough.

Cost isn't a major factor - at least not as major as performance and 
reliability.

Thanks!
