Reco for good Firewire or USB 2 HD enclosure please!

Just replaced my 60Gb maxtor ata133 with an 80mb 8mb cache one. Want to use the 60gb for storage. Rather not use a PCI add in card and have all my IDE's filled up already and dont want to bother installing it on my other LAN rigs internally.

Which is better way to go, USB 2 or Firewire (my EpoX 8rda+ has both native, neither being used now)

Which is good one to go with for the better of the 2 choices ? Thanks.

Try here or here

You're better off going with Firewire, but if you get something like this (~$87 CDN) you can use USB1.1, USB2.0, or Firewire400.

Thanks.
