REVIEW: ToughTech mini from WiebeTech

The best home for replaced 2.5-inch hard drive mechanism is in an external FireWire enclosure. An external FW hard drive is great for backing up, archiving and moving data and is amazingly convenient. If you’re a user of FireWire 800 (included on the current MBP) you should select an enclosure that supports the faster protocol as it will you save lots of time on large data transfers. The ToughTech Mini from WiebeTech is a portable, bus-powered 2.5-inch hard drive that supports SATA drives.
