If you mean "best" and not "best for the money" then look at Gliph and then G-Tech. The "Best" interface is FW800. It really is faster than FW400 even for a single drive enclosure.

If you want a good drive at a fair price look at OWC's house brand "mercury"

But really in the end the drive itself is made by WD, Seagate or the like and all these guys do is build the box it goes inside of.
