Hey Josh,
I purchased a USB 2.0/Firewire enclosure for work a long while ago (I
unfortunately don't know what the make/model was). It was the cheapest,
smallest thing I could find, but turned out to be pretty nice. The case
was made of aluminum, but offered no real drive protection -- just
encapsulation. The primary drawback was that the enclosure had no
ventilation. When writing a lot of data it looked like pavement on a hot
day. So, my suggestion is: If you can stand packing around a larger
enclosure, or it will remain stationary, buy one with a ventilation
system. Especially if it will be under constant use.

I have been searching around online and I keep coming up with a bunch of
different cases but no real reviews of any. Has anybody bought one and
currently using it? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Josh
