I just bought a 15.4" C2D Macbook Pro and I was planning on using my 200gig PATA drive for external storage. I want something that has both USB2 and FW800 because the laptop only has two USB2 ports (which will already be in use), and I don't plan on using the FW800 port for anything. I found the Rosewill RX30-U2FAB, and it looks like it'd be the perfect choice, but I can't find it for sale anywhere and it seems a tad expensive. Does anybody know where I could find this or an alternative for about the same price ($100). Ideally I'd like to keep it under $50, but with FW800 I don't see that happening.
edit: and I want something with the Oxford chipset, not the Cypress chipset. I've heard Oxford is the way to go and Cypress is to be avoided.
