I want to buy an external enclosure to use my existing HD for backup and such so I don't have to buy a new one. But the only SATA enclosures I see are USB 2.0. Home come nobody makes any Firewire enclosures. All the Firewire or Firewire and USB combo ones are IDE. No body makes any Firewire for SATA.

Thanks,
ivnj
