I was wondering if anyone has used one of the following enclosures:

and
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817145132
My main purpose is to get about 45GB of data off an old WD Caviar 60Gb drive, and then put in a likewise old WD 250GB drive to hold backups of music and such, or even to use as a Time Machine backup for my MacBook. The Vantec gets good reviews, and the price is much nicer, but I hear so many good things about OWC enclosures and the Oxford firewire chipsets they use that I wonder if it would be worth the price, even though I don't currently have a machine with FireWire. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
