Anyone know where to get this? Aside from the makers in Australia?

Did some research and it appears that last year, Newegg.com had them under the name of Rosewill but a search on Newegg doesn't have this model anymore .. but i later found a link from Rosewill themselves to Newegg

http://www.rosewill.com/product/product.aspx?productId=80

Problem is, it needs to be shipped to Canada. Anyone know any Canadian distributors?

For those that might also be interested, i also came across this as well:
http://www.g-technology.com/Products/G-DRIVE.cfm
although i'd still prefer the Pleiades/Rosewill.
 
I spoke to a rep at Rosewill and they said they've discontinued them. I believe they were the only ones that sold it to the end user. Too bad since it was an awesome drive. For more external drives that match the G5, I found a great article here:

It also has more information about the Pleides enclosure from Macpower.

Hope this helps. :)
 
nice selection and very helpful link, much appreciated ..

i still find the Rosewill/Pleiades to be the best of them, the link above for one @ $48 is something i'd be willing to pay for, but too bad in the US only.

Hopefully more new stuff will come along : )
