Greetings,

Business is picking up enough that it makes more sense to do some bulk orders of disk drives and enclosure than to continue running down to Fryes occasionally to pick them up, particularly since they never have the same enclosures on any two visits.

Any recommendations for good places to buy small quantities of hard drives?

How about enclosures, particularly any with eSATA and Firewire?

Thanks.

-David

I just bought an Icybox external enclosure for 3.5" SATA HDD to eSATA and USB. The back panel flips open easily for so you can slot the drive in and take it out easily (no screws!) and it is in lovely black aluminium. Also comes with SATA cable and SATA back plate for your PC. Recommended. Cost 40.00GBP

Greetings,

Ahh, sounds much better than what I've been finding locally. Their full line can be found here

Unfortunately, they don't do eSATA and Firewire in the same box.

I have a whole box of Thermaltake Silver River Duo Enclosures that support IDE and SATA HDDs and have both USB 2.0 and ESATA interfaces. I also have a couple of the Max 4 enclosures. I have not seen any FireWire/ESATA enclosures (but that does not mean they do not exist).
