I am building an external backup drive for Time Capsule with my WD 500 GB 2.5" drive, however the current enclosure only supports USB 2.0 so I am not looking for a good 2.5" Enclosure that will allow me to use USB and FW800

I personally am considering a Macpower SK-3500 s-combo (eSATA, USB2, FW400, 2x FW800 plus SMART AP software).
It's available as sk-2500, too, for 2,5" drives.
