Looking for an external HD enclosure, advices?

[kewp04]

After reading many threads about external hard drives, it seems like OWC and fantom drives are the way to go. but i think their external HDs are a little bit overpriced, plus i already have a WD 120gb HD and i just want to find a small and light enclosure that works with my ibook. recently, i actually bought a usb 2.0 enclosure from sanmax and i have had all kinds of problems w/ it. everytime i tried to copy files from the drive to my ibook, it would slow down the system so much that the mouse pointer wouldn't stop spinning>so i have to restart my comp. :mad:
And it seems also the enclosure is not defective cuz it works perfectly on my two other PCs. :confused:
So does anyone have any advices on which enclosures are reliable? (in a sense that it's compatible with mac)
BTW, i would like to have one that's under 50 bucks.
thanx.

And I think OWC uses their enclosures for most of its external hard drives. but i cant find any US retailers that sell that type of enclosure. :mad:

Duff-Man says...that new case design matches the G5 nicely....cool. Why not try emailing them and they should tell you how/where/price to get one.....oh yeah!

Newegg also sells one with just USB 2.0 for a little cheaper:

I have both each with a Western Digital 120GB HD and they've been great. Use one for just backing up my Mac and the other for storing TV show I record with my All-In-Wonder card. PC and Mac no problems, plus they run cool without fans.
