Title: FireWire limited
Product review: Although this enclosure appears to be of decent quality I quickly returned it after realizing that the "FireWire" port is only a FireWire 400 port. The 2009 Mac Mini for instance only has a FireWire 800 port. In order for me to connect this enclosure to my Mac Mini I would either have to use the USB port or purchase a 800 to 400 adapter. On top of this it only includes a USB cable and no FireWire cable. If you do any research on external hard drives you will find out that using USB 2.0 to connect a hard drive results in the drive being at least twice as slow as the same drive connected via FireWire 800. Instead I am looking at a Mercury Elite-AL drive enclosure which is more expensive but has multiple FW800 ports and cables included for all the ports.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
