[MacDV] FW cases

[Richard Brown]

Please report on this drive after a good 15,000 hours of operation. I'd 
be very interested to know your results. I think I will purchase a few 
and put them up 24/7 shortly. I'll report too. I have no drives below 
120GB, so passing the 137GB like ADS sounds great.
