Removable HD…

Not really much to tell.

Takes any standard ATA drive. It actually could support two drives, but there is only room for one drive. If you have a drive laying around pop it into the encloser and you are ready to go.

I carry one of these with me that has a 60 gig drive in it. I keep all my tools on the drive and since it is both USB and FireWire it connects to anything. Macs can boot from a FireWire drive so I often use it to boot a Mac.

Sometimes I'll get a hard drive that I need to get the info off of. I'll take my drive out of the case and then pop the drive that I need to access into it, only takes a few minutes.

When shopping for a FireWire encloser just make sure it is uses an Oxford 911 chip, most of the newer ones are.

There is no difference between Mac and PC on this stuff other then how you choose to format the drive.

I actually also own an ACOMData FireWire/USB 120 gig drive that I use for nightly backups. The hard drive that is in the case, I don't know what make it is, has failed twice. ACOMData's support is slow and basically sucks. If it fails again I'm going to void the warranty and put a Western Digital Hard Drive in the case since it is a good case with an Oxford 911 chip.
