Can anyone recommend or show me various FW800 / 1394b enclosures for Hard Drives? I am currently using one by Bytecc.

Also, are there any enclosures that support two drives?

Thanks in advance.

I like the looks of this single drive case, and this dual drive case. I've had good results from OWC cases in the past, and both use the Oxford 912 chip (a quality device).

Thanks for the link. I checked OWC, but I missed that one. So now I have 3 to choose from. They are all using the Oxford 912 chipset. I believe the OWC needs to be updated / flashed to support RAID 1.

i'm not sure which if any of these cases is better? anyone shop from fwdepot?
