I've suddenly got the urge to invest in a backup solution as I have nothing of the sort at the moment.

I have a Maximus Formula and thus have firewire but no eSATA, therefore I am guessing this limits my options.

The forum seem to recommend the Icybox but I am unsure as to whether it has firewire connectivity or not.

Any advice would be appreciated.
 
Just external.

That one doesn't seem to be firewire though, wouldn't USB transfer be too slow?
 
I thought USB wasn't so good for data transfer (judging on the date things are copied to my usb drive).

By the way, is it worth waiting for the 1TB 2.5" drives? Saving a power socket sounds appealing.

Also, chuck990, isn't that enclosure PATA only?

Nice, I didn't know about that. Yea, I'll go for the adapter.

What's the best enclosure that takes SATA drives? Probably going to stick a 1.5TB WD Green in there.
