Hosed Portable Firewire Drive
Because my TiBook has a pretty tiny hard drive, I bought a FireLite drive to use as additional space. This was a year or so ago. Much to my frustration, the little drive died on my last business trip. Suspecting that it was the enclosure and not the drive itself I bought a 44 pin to 40 pin IDE adapter and slapped it into a full sized Firewire enclosure. Much to my delight, the drive itself is fine. Its just the enclosure that went bad. I think I'll buy a small enclosure to put the little drive into--something like this.
