Not "troubleshooting," so I posted this in the Forum.

Anyway, does anyone know of any external FireWire 800 or USB 2 enclosures that will hold SATA drives? I've checked all the "usual" companies and I can't seem to find anyone that makes such an enclosure — which totally blows me away.

Anyone?

SATA is likely to be in external enclosures with an external SATA connection, not usb2 or firewire.

There are a few examples: http://www.addonics.com/products/enc...e5idecsu2f.asp

But mostly you'll just find the external SATA connector:


LaCie has some product like this, but only at the high dollar mark.

Or http://www.usb-ware.com/aluminum-sat...drive-case.htm
If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.
