Don't step into the kawoosh...
I have been doing some research and found a few HD enclosures that will work for what i am doing. I have 2 160GB internal HD's that i want to put in enclosures.

So what i need from you guys/gals is suggestions on which enclosure you like the best.

So here are the contenders:

First is the MASSCOOL FI310

Second is the AMC HD2-U2FW

Third is the SanMax HD-338-CB ABS 94V0

And fourth is the A-Power

Ok now for the reasons i came to these enclosures. The first one i like because it got pretty good reviews, looked nice (not going for somthing fancy), and it does not have the brand name on it from what i can see (not a huge deal but i think it makes the enclosure look better). The second i like because it is small and compact, got good reviews, and again, is pretty simple. The third i like because of the front power switch, looks decent, and the reviews were good (one was from a mac person so i know this one works with mac). The fourth i like because it looks half way decent and has what i am looking for...but i am not really sure of any reviews on this one.

OK so for Pics:

If you're planning on running two of these, you may want to skip the one with only one Firewire port. Then you can daisy-chain and save a port on your machine. Other than that, just make sure you've got an Oxford chipset under the hood.

:cool:

OK i have narrowed it down to the Masscool and the AMC.

Does anyone have any experience usuing any of these. I cant find any info on what chipset they use. Might be looking in the wrong place.

Any input would be appreciated.
