[LUNI] Firewire enclosure recs?

[Mark Matula]

Does anyone have any recs for a Firewire (and possibly USB 2.0) hard drive
enclosure that works well with linux?  I bought a Bytecc enclosure from
newegg which my research initially indicated was supported.  But it turns
out that the chipset used (Prolific PL3507) is sketchy.  The drive gets
recognized and I can mount it, but trying to push any appreciable amount of
data thought it ends up in timeouts in the sbp2 driver.  And if I use USB,
after the first 150MB, transfer slows down to a crawl.  I've tried a
firmware upgrade and a sbp2 module options that 'might' help, and it didn't.

I've tested a Maxtor One-Touch drive/enclosure on the system and it worked
flawlessly, so I have a benchmark of what is possible.  The Bytecc isn't
cutting it.

I'm now looking at a Mapower case as a replacement:

Any thoughts on this or others I should look at?

BTW, here is the one that isn't working well:
