[X4U] FireWire enclosure for SATA drive (Was: Migrate without Firewire link.)

[Stroller]

I have one of these, too!

It has become quite my best friend the last week or two (although  
this is obviously because I spend quite a bit of time backing up data  
from customers' drives).

When I first saw these advertised they were twice the price but now -  
thanks, no doubt, to the wonders of Chinese manufacturing - they seem  
to be packaged by many different "brands" and mine was packaged in a  
plain brown box, rather than that NewerTech one shown.

UK prices are never as reasonable as US ones, but I found this  
acceptable:
