ARE there relaibity issues with the enclosure 1 ) ?..I thought of buying enclosure 1
1) http://www.macpower.com.tw/products/opticall/jewelbox/jb_400plus
( THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM THE MACPOWER THAT I MENTION EARLIER AS IT IS NOT AVAILABLE )

The alternative is
2) .EZSTORE speedzter enclosure . a proprietary assembled brand with Oxford ,



3) for PCMCIA firewire ..2 choices between syba.com ( a taiwanese brand that appears more popular) and a mercury brand ( a taiwanese that makes motherboard as well but apparantly is no good ? )

a) which PCMCIA would you buy
b) are there issues with having a syba PCMCIA combo firewire + USB 2.0 card for note book ( Only use that with DVD writer on external casing or say DV video camera)
