I'm looking for a 3.5" firewire HD enclosure that is bus powered, or switchable either bus power, or external. I can't seem to find one. Do any of you know where one is avalible?
Thanks!

I don't think there is one as HD of that size tends to use a lot more power. FWdepot has one SK 3.5 FW enclosure that has a built in power supply though.

I know I saw one once but I can't remember where, it was the only one though.

Me thinks the case is for 2.5" drives where you have the option of using external power via an adaptor or powered via FW.
I have never come across a 3.5" case that claims to be able to power a drive via the FW cable. They all seem to need a external power suppy - probably due to the power requirements of the larger drives.

3.5" devices require more power than the bus provides. Currently there is no such thing as a bus-powered 3.5" drive.
