Russ, Thanks for the link. It looks like CoolDrives will have something to fit my needs. I'm looking for a 2.5" enclosure to hold the 160 GB factory-installed drive that I recently removed from my MacBook Pro. I would like to have USB 2, Firewire 400 and Firewire 800 connectors on it.
It look like CoolDrives has something like that but I notice that some of the specs refer to SATA and eSATA drives, others refer to SATA HDD or just HDD. Can anyone tell me exactly what type my Hitachi 160 GB drive is. Specifically, I'm looking at the following and would like to know if it will work with my drive: http://www.cooldrives.com/2sahddencosa.html Thanks.
