Anybody ever tried enclosures from this company? Ideally I'd like something a little smaller but with the same number, type of ports.

Otherwise seeking recommendations for something with Oxford 924.

as an asside this enclosure looks to be very common as there are a lot of folks overing their own version of it with their badge on it

I used the Wiebetech enclosures, and they've worked amazingly well. The enclosure is practically the same as the one from Oyen Digital.

You're only other option for 2.5" external firewire 800 enclosure is the Mercury On-the-Go from Other World Computing. The main difference is that it is plastic and not aluminum and that it has no eSATA port.

I still use an OnTheGo FW 400 enclosure from OWC. Actually I bought mine from TransIntl at the time.

Yeah the Wiebtech looks idendical to the MiniExpress and other such branded enclosures. Looks like that's the one when you want FW800 and/or eSata support.
