Kecinzer Founding Member Registered: 11/08/01 Posts: 3394 Loc: MA, USA	I'm looking for a reliable and quiet multi bay (2-4 SATA drives) enclosure for a Mac. Preferably with multiple interface (FW400/800, USB, SATA). Thanks! Definitely not anything from Sans Digital. (I lost $1000 on their 4-bay SATA unit which never worked right on my Mac. They refused to return my $$ ... just kept sending me different cards which kept freezing my Mac on wake-up). _________________________ See?

All my samples on it..... ! WTF is going on? looks like now I have 6 bare drives with nothing to run them. _________________________ See?

Not exactly what you are looking for, but they are AWESOME. 7200 RPM, small as can be, FW 800/400 or USB 2 and 100% buss powered. I'm immediately getting a 250GB for a "floater" drive and I imagine that it won't be the last.
