Experience with OWC Neptune Drives

[freewill]

Wondering if this is a decent external drive to use for Time Machine with a MBP -- and if the attached represents a good deal? It's a 250GB OWC Neptune FireWire External 7200.

Thanks

I've had a neptune case with a HD that I put in it running since March without any problems at all. I have very happy with it! Makes no noise and stays cool too!

Yeah, I ordered a Neptune case and separate 250 GB drive from OWC. No problems whatsoever, and very quiet. Not the prettiest external option, but great for value-minded customers.
