[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 353621, member: 24160"] Just an update: New one found I didn't see prior: [URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/PerformanceRAID"]Another OWC[/URL]: really looks like this may be the one I end up going with right now. 500GB, FW800, 32MB cache, RAID 0 array, SATA drives not IDE/ATA, still a 2 year warranty on the enclosure and 5 years on the drives - $270 For an extra $50 over the WD MyBook you get RAID, double the cache, for sure SATA drives (have not been able to confirm anywhere whether WD is using SATA or IDE drives in theirs as of yet) and a 2-5 yr warranty vs 3-3. The WD drives may be a little faster than the Seagates for most things, but don't think the MyBook could keep up with this RAID 0. [/QUOTE]
