Firewire or USB 2.0 Hard Drive Cases?

Does anyone know of anyone who makes an external Firewire or USB2.0 HD case that is ATA133 for a Maxtor 160 GB Drive, I already have the drive and now I want to put it in one of these cases so I can easily transfer it b/t computers. If it will not go ATA133 I will be limited to 137 GB which is not that bad but still it is a pain in the but.(Backing up 140 GB of Data takes a long time 🙁 )
 
i am just curious, what method are you going to use to backup your data?

The reason that i ask is that i have a 60gb drive laying around and i was thinking about getting one of those external USB harddrive cases and use it as an backup drive. I have come to find out that usb/firewire is not supported in DOS (yet). So you are unable to use a imaging program like Ghost/Drive Image to create a image of your drives.

I haven't heard of anything external that's ATA133 yet. Pyro has a second generation of their firewire external kit that's faster, but it's still only ATA100. Link. But if your backup software has any kind of compression capabilities, you should have no problem getting 140 gig on your 137 gig (recognized) hd.
