works with 3TB drive
By J. Barshinger
I had a lot of trouble finding something that would support a 3TB drive. This one shows all 3TB to the operating system! It's a nice case, has every imaginable port for hooking it up to your computer. I have mine hooked up to a Mac right now.I would have given 5 stars but it is a little expensive. However, that was not enough to deter me from ordering another...

By G. Green
There were a couple of complaints about the predecessor to Macally's new firewire enclosure. The GS350SUAB only had one Firewire 800 port and some complained of a weak power supply that wouldn't power high capacity drives. It looks like Macally has addressed both these issues with the GS350SUAB2. Instead of two Firewire 400 ports, it has two Firewire 800 ports (as well as a single Firewire 400) and mine shipped with a 3 amp power supply, which has been plenty for the 2TB Hitachi drive I installed in this enclosure. Since I was mainly interested in Firewire 800 connectivity, I was glad to see an included cable, which is expected at this price. The two stand options included are a nice touch. Connected to my iMac 24" via Firewire 800, I can hear the drive go to sleep when I sleep the computer and it remains mounted even after waking from sleep.Pros:Beautiful enclosureTwo Firewire 800 portsPower button on frontCons:Pricier than bare-bones alternatives10/23/12 UpdateThis enclosure is still going strong despite being banged around some by a toddler who was reaching behind the desk. As was noted in a comment, FW800 is backward compatible with FW400, so I have removed one of my cons to correct this misunderstanding on my part. Pricing has come down on this unit, but USB 3.0 has also become more wide-spread (which this unit lacks), so I am leaving my rating at 4 stars.

Best Enclosure for Mac, even for PC users
By Walter Cordova
- Very easy to set up, you just remove the screws, the bottom part, insert the HD and that's it.- The quality is great. The aluminum helps the enclosure to control temperature. The materials in general makes it look very elegant. Maybe the blue light is not that fancy but it stands out a lot so you can check its status. So the price fits correctly.- Its very fast, it takes a few seconds to mount. I just pressed the power button and there's the disk on the desktop. I use a Western Digital 2 TB Caviar Green SATA Intellipower 64 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD20EARS which is the one amazon recomends and it works perfectly. I partitioned the disk like this: 500gb (time machine) 1.5 gb for data. My Macbook Pro instanly mounts both disk and work at the same time. I use firewire 800 and the speeds are as advertised. I even connect it to a Hp Pavilion through e-sata, the PC recognized only the data partition and it took 1 min to transfer 6gb.So don't hesitate to buy it because of it's price. The price is worth it. You get 2 firewire 800, 1 fw 400, e-sata and USB. IT COMES ALONG WITH ALL THE CABLES SO YOU DONT NEED YO BUY ANYTHING EXTRA.The design is beautiful, performance is perfect, deserves 10 stars.
