Does anyone have any advice on where to get cheap 4-Bay firewire
enclosures, preferably with removable disk trays? I can live with
Firewire 400 to keep the cost down (besides isn't there a problem
with Firewire 800 on the original G5's).
I'm looking at primarily using the enclosure for backups of my
primary disks (two internal SATA and two external ATA in a nice
Wiebetech 2 drive FW400 enclosure).
I prefer to buy the HD's themselves from a local dealer, in fact I
bought two 250GB drives that will go into the enclosure today.
I just wish I'd done this prior to loosing my 300GB system disk that
I bought for the Tiger upgrade (the drive was just over 2 months
old). I was able to recover most of my data, but lost my Neverwinter
Nights game that I'd spent my spare time the last month or so playing
:^( At least I was able to recover all of my email, photo's, and a
writing project.
