Question

Anyone know of a good external disk drive (Iomega, Freecom, etc.) that have large disks with Firewire and USB2 support?

I can find plenty of Firewire, but I'd like both if poss.

Question

If Firewire is the only option, can you get USB to Firewire converters.

We have Firewire on the newer laptops, but would like to get some USB support on the others.

Yeah, I've just bought a 120GB Firewire job for £330. Just as well the company's paying for it.

If you can wait a week or two, I'll be able to sell you a good quality external enclosure with either FireWire or USB2 allowing you to put any IDE drive in it.

Mail me for more info if req'd.

Cheers

Lee.
