I bought a generic USB enclosure and a regular ol' Maxtor drive from
Newegg. Stuck the drive in the enclosure, plugged the enclosure into a
USB 2 card, and life was good. I did have to enable usb2 support in the
kernel (ehci, I think?) to get the high speeds.
My enclosure doesn't have FW, since I didn't have a need for it, but I
don't see why this would make a huge difficult.
