Looking For Laptop Drive External Enclosure With Fw800

[steffi]

I've got a G-Technology enclosure but the bus power on it doesn't work so I need to use AC adapter which is annoying. I'd rather throw it away and get something that works with bus power. Here in Thailand is there any decent triple interface enclosures for sale anywhere that are small and light? The majority of enclosures sub 500 thb range all support USB 2 only but they are generally rubbish. That said they are extremely small. Since I'm a on Mac with FW800 I get more from my drive if the enclosure supports FW800.

I know Copperwired (iStudio) used to sell products from Taiwan but lately I've only seen brand name stuff there that doesn't meet my needs.

hi,

I super small bought a 500 GB external drive from the Apple shop at Pantib plaza. It has 2 FW 800 ports plus a USB 2 port. Amazingly fast !
