Can anyone recommend a drive enclosure to use with the Mac Mini?
I'm curious which type of connection (USB/Firewire) seems to be the fastest. My plan had been to access my large array of drive storage on an old server on my gigabit network, but I had neglected to take into account the slow bus speed of my old Pentium II server!!! So, I'd like to overcome this bottleneck by attaching a drive via USB or Firewire.
I've seen the Lacie and Newertech models that are designed to match up nicely, but I don't care so much about looks as performance and price. The Newertech miniStack models seem very nice with the expansion ports and everything.
What is everyone using?
