New iMac 3.06GHz vs. Mac Powerbook 2.5GHz

  1. For FW800, Gtech makes the G-RAID Mini. They are quick and RAID config with 2.5" drives. What I like about them are they can be replaced with newer 2.5" SATA drives as capacities grow, unlike the La Cie Little Big Disk which is very nice looking and works like a charm but the max is now 500GB (2x 250GB PATA drives) as PATA fades into extinction.

    Wiebetech, Gtech and Firmtek have enclosures for 3.5" eSATA. The Wiebetech Toughtech XE is nice because it has eSATA and FW400,800 and USB2.0. Buy 2 and mount them on the card and RAID configure them La Cie also has eSATA products..

     

    Good info Drew.....I'll look into them tomorrow. It sounds like Weibetech is a good way to go- thanks for some direction. I like the looks of the GTech FW800, but you have mentioned they are "pretty slow" compared to the eSata, right?
