USB/Firewire Enclosure: Which to get?

[dakata24]

I'm considering the following for the Optorite DVD +/- RW drive im planning on getting:

ADS Technology Dual Link USB 2.0/Firewire Kit that is going for $79.16 shipped thru Dell Home.

or

Bytecc ME-320U2F Generic USB 2.0/Firewire Enclosure that's $61 shipped at dealsonic.

I would go with the ADS simply because I never heard of the other one.

I'm going to pick up an MA Power aluminum external enclosure as soon as I can locate a retailer that sells one.

Dakota24, I have em both and they perform the same although the ADS is more sturdier and Heavier/Larger

i have the bytecc one. i got it from dealsonic also. it's amazing. works flawlessly. i have a 180gb HD in there and it's amazing. works on both usb2.0 and firewire just fine.

thanks. i actually have a bytecc 3.5" usb 2.0 enclosure (me-320) that i got from newegg. i was most curious about the performance. but you have a good reason to get the ads vs the bytecc. since sturdier/heavier would probably suit the dvd drive much better since it's alittle more delicate than a hard drive. and that reminded me that trying to get those side rails off the bytecc enclosure is a b*tch!
