Hi Michael--
Though I haven't used their RAID products, I highly recommend OWC for
all FireWire enclosures.  I've observed many brands in use and own
20+ of their drives. OWC's technicians like Tom Lundvall seem to stay
on top of OS and hardware developments and are excellent
trouble-shooters. Tom's fast and helpful email support is
incomparable.

One can buy a complete drive/enclosure from them or buy the
enclosure(s) separately and insert drive(s) you buy elsewhere at
special prices. They have on-line how to's about how to do this. Rob
