please make suggestions. (Specs and plans are in signature.
removing original 10 Gig drive to install larger drive.
What enclosure to get?
Only one that is easy/convenient to get is MacAlly.
I like that it has firewire 400/800/USB.
I like that it is portable, though, even smaller size/weight would be nice.
Are there others that are sufficiently better/smaller, etc (or less
expensive) tht I should get something different? or, just get the
MacAlly that repair shop has?
If it's a fantastic price, I'd go for it. I have four different
external HD enclosures (five if you count the firewire-only enclosure
that didn't have the right chipset for Mac so it's on permanent loan
to a PC friend.) Having multiple choices for connections is
imperative if you ever plan on upgrading or using it on a different
computer that may not have a spare slot for a particular enclosure.
If I had my purchases to do over, I'd try to get enclosures that
could stack on one another, safely, to save desk space. Also keep in
mind it is sometimes less expensive to buy an enclosure with a drive
than it is to buy a bare drive.
