The problem with the Ammo enclosure is that it is only USB2. If that's sufficient for you, it looks good. It's a $40 enclosure, which isn't bad, a 500G laptop drive is $65-90 so it's about a $130 portable drive. The portable drives I'm most impressed with lately are the Iomega eGo line. USB2/FW400/FW800 interfaces, 500Gbyte, shock-protected and also about $130. FW400/800 generally speaking outperforms USB2 by a healthy margin, I always prefer using it when I can for hard drives. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
