250GB GenII FireCube - Good drive?

[MacBook'06]

I'm sorry - this is yet another hard drive recommendation thread - so i'll make it short.

Is this a good drive and a good price - $248 AU?
Is it reliable?
Are there any other hard drives in this price and storage range with both Firewire and USB?
thanks in advance!

I don't know how good of a deal that is. It seems like it's just a 250GB drive in a Rosewill case:

You can get the case for cheaper on eBay or in other online stores, and drives are fairly inexpensive nowadays. I would say you should just buy the two components separately and put 'em together yourself. Not too hard to do.

turns out nearly the same price - rememeber this is in australian dollars not US - $248 AU equates to $184US
