I want an external drive for my Duo Core iMac. I know which drive I want, but am unsure which would be the better enclosure. Has anyone used these?

FireWire 400/USB 2.0 External Enclosure for 3... (PHR100AC) at OWC

or


NewerTech miniStack V2 FireWire/USB2.0 Enclos... (FWU2MSV2) at OWC

I've got a couple of externals that I use with my PC and I like them, but they are not firewire equipped and that is what I want for the iMac.

For the $7 extra bucks, I'd go with the miniStack, since you get a nice hub included with it. Unless of course you'll ever need to hook up the drive via USB, then the Macally seems the way to go.
Cheers
