Default For users of Quantegy Fire Wire Drives...

For those of you who have been using Quantegy Fire Wire drives, what alternative are you looking at in an encloser?
Are we going back to the Glyph NetDrives with external power supplies that get lost in between sessions?
Anyone know of a quality encloser with the power supply built in?
Ford or Chevey?
Mercedes or BMW?
Bacon or Ham?
Anybody have Scarlett Johansson's phone number?

I bought one Quantegy 80G HD a month ago just for the enclosure. If I could find who makes it, I'd buy a bunch more and load them with WD drives. But an hour of web searching has revealed nothing. I opened mine up but it didn't indicate who manufactured the case. (The drive was a Hitachi, 2MB buffer)

Looks promising. How soon will they be available? The website is totally devoid of information, other than the product blurb.

The post preceding your last one contains the company's Richard Wilson email address. Consider reaching out to him. He's a good guy, and - check this out - it's what he does for a living.

I'm using the Glyph GT drives...they're a little more expensive (not as much more as they used to be), but they're also quieter, have internal power supplied, and a better warranty (not that I've ever needed it)...

The Glyph and Avastor drives are lookin' good.

I just looked at a Storcase drive today and they just don't have what I need for our clients. These are people that are always losing cables and such, and most of the time the computers being used don't have FW800 ports on them. So to rely upon everybody keeping track of their (included with the drive) FW800 to FW400 cables would be crazy.

If anyone else would like to suggest something that hasn't been said, please do so.
