Title: Firewire does not work for Mac
Review: I should have checked the review here before buying one: I got in the same situation as "kmaletsky".This works with Mac via USB. I rate this "*" because it claimed to be compatible with Mac, and that it has both USB and firewire, but it didn't say that it doesn't work for Mac via Firewire.The alternative that works with Mac seems to be Macally PHR-250CC Aluminum 2.5" USB + IEEE 1394 External Enclosure . I am going to try this out.Iogear Ion 2.5" USB2.0 / Firewire Enclosure appeared to be a good alternative and I was almost going to get it but in the last minute I found that it does not boot on Mac.
