External Hard Drive enclosures?

[ZenNerd]

I'm looking to get an external enclosure for 200gb hd I have and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on which brands/models play nicely with MACs and OSX? I'm looking to get one that has both Firewire and USB2 connections.

Thanks

Anything with an Oxford 911 chipset (or 922 if you're going FW800) are pretty much the best of the bunch.

OWC has a bunch of good ones, you can also Froogle for more.

definitely one of the Oxford chipsets as vinow mentioned, and newegg.com has some good ones and great prices too

check out the drives from g-technology. i am not sure if they feature the oxford chipset, but i would assume they do.

I bought one from CompUSA. I paid a little much because I needed one in a hurry. It worked fine. Not sure what the chipset was.

I've got the macally external firewire400/usb2 and they work great. I think I paid around $45 each on newegg.

Got my external HD from melrosemac.com in Burbank, CA.
It's 200 G and I got it for $200, and it's only has FW400 connection, good stuff. No problems...

OWC sells the same external HD...
