This enclosure was one I purchased about 2 weeks ago to make the transition of data from my older computer to my new one a smooth ride.
I originally only purchased it because it was the only option with FireWire and USB on it without a hard drive included and intended to use it only for this task then get rid of it.
However, after discovering its true potential, I have actually discovered possibly the best priced enclosure out there. This enclosure comes with short USB, FireWire and eSATA cables and the power adapter.
More importantly, it comes with a free eSATA backplate for those who do not have eSATA. I discovered, and this to my amazement, that FireWire far outperforms eSATA on this drive gaining around 90MB/S (even though it claims to be capped at 400Mbps) on FireWire and around 55MB/S on eSATA.
None the less, this was a significant improvement over my previous drive that had only USB 2.0 which can only transfer at 35MB/S.
For more information on this enclosure search for the CiT 35M17SEF.
