I am going to give my old HD a second life by using it as an external one. What are you guys experiences in this area? Any favorites? .... Looking between an OWC Mercury Enclosure and Macally. Opinions appreciated....
Got a tip for us?

I'd get the cheapest thing I could find with an Oxford 911 chipset. When I bought one, it was from PC Microstore (I just found the site through dealmac.com), and I haven't had any problems with the enclosure I ended up getting (though it wasn't the cheapest)

Yeah that is pretty cost effective. I just realized that I might need an USB2 + FW in order to use it with my IBM thinkpad
Carbon Copy for replication?
Ok I got my Bytecc slimline aluminum firewire/USB2 enclosure from newegg. Works within 10 minutes!! .... Thanks for all the advice.
Now, a program that replicates data to the external drive would be nice. Something that only copies changed files rather than drag-drop everything. Is this what carbon copy does?
