I came across this firewire / usb hard drive by OtherWorldComputing today, what I like about the specs is that its one of the new hard drives (probably Western Digital) with 8mb cache instead of the usual 2mb.

Does anyone have a firewire hard drive from OWC, do you like the case and how is the reliability?

The drive uses 120.0GB Western Digital Caviar 7200rpm 8.9ms 8MB Cache UltraDMA 100drive.
I have read favorable reviews by bothJohn Nemerovski , at MyMac.com, and ChicagoTribune computer columnist James Coates .

However I too would appreciate some input from people that already own this drive.

Thanks
