Greetings,

I currently have a Toshiba 40G drive that has been filling up quite quickly due to all of my video manipluation and I had a few questions regarding cloning this drive.

I want to purchase one of IBM's 80G laptop drives, but may wait until Toshiba releases one (they are just so much more quite, in my opinion) - Anyway, that is an entirely different topic.

The question I have is as follows. Is there some sort of "kit" you can get for a laptop hard drive so you can mount it via firewire? I have used a kit in the past on a PC that allows you to use a laptop hard drive on an IDE connector, but was unsure on what was out there for Macs.

I understand you need to have something like this for CCC, and didn't know exactly how to go about this on a laptop.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like you need a Firewire enclosure that can hold 2.5" hard drives. Get one that uses the Oxford 911 chipset for best results. A Google search will give you plenty of results.
