 |
|
| I'm looking around for a dual 2.5" hard drive enclosure for two spare 7200 RPM 320GB drives. I've seen a couple models here and there, but would like to hear suggestions or personal experiences with one. Firewire 800 is the preferred connection and it has to be rugged too. |

Though I've bought 3.5" enclosures I've had good luck with both of my drives from OWC http://www.macsales.com/ I just buy the bare enclosures and add my own HDs. I also have one enclosure from Macally.com but IMHO they are falling behind on their enclosures.

I have a barebones Guardian Maximus mini from Newertech with two 500GB drives. The enclosure is a little on the larger side, but it feels really solid and comes with a nice selection of ports (USB, Firewire and eSATA). It also does automatic backups with RAID if you're interested. It's just a really nice drive. Probably not the cheapest one out there though.
