I'm looking at this:
Highly Portable FireWire 400 - USB 2.0 Cases Portable Drive Case
It doesn't say the chipset used so I don't know if has Oxford chipset. Should I get it (for mac)?

If it had an Oxford chipset, it would say so.

Buying an Oxford-based enclosure isn't as important these days as it used to be. I'd go with or for half the price.

Of the two drives mduell noted, I would go with the Macally. It has better customer reviews than the other, and still has an attractive price.

FWIW: I have a MacAlly 3.5 inch enclosure and found it works well overall, but the transfer rates are not quite as fast as with the Rosewill 3.5 inch Oxford 911 enclosure I also have (same Western Digital Caviar 320 gig drive in both).

If you really need or want the Oxford 911 chipset, I can recommend this 2.5 inch enclosure from OWC (Macsales). I use it with a Hitachi Travelstar 7200 rpm drive and found it to work flawlessly. It is clear, heavy duty plastic, dissipates heat well, and comes with a high quality leather case. But its twice the price of the Macally--so you have to decide whether its worth the extra $$$ for your needs. (They also sell Firewire/USB and Firewire 400/800 versions, as well as versions with drives pre-installed)
