WiebeTech is now shipping a 200GB 7200RPM UltraGB+ portable drive enclosure that is accessible through a FireWire 800 interface (400 compatible). UltraGB+ is bus-powered, allowing you to access massive amounts of data without carrying an AC adapter.
When attached to an adequately powered FireWire host port, it will function just like any other desktop drive. It features our toughest desktop enclosure with FlexMount? anti-shock protection that protects the hard drive from external bumps and vibrations. The aluminum case provides durability as well as heat dissipation.
First announced in January at MacWorld, all versions of UltraGB+ are now shipping, including this new 200GB version. UltraGB+ is the world’s highest capacity, bus powered FireWire 800/400 drive. UltraGB+ is available in three different capacities: 120GB, 160GB and 200GB.
I have been using one of WiebeTech’s ToughTech (non bus-powered) FireWire 800 desktop hard drive enclosures for a few months now and love it. An empty ToughTech enclosure costs US$119 and numerous drive options are available including a 250GB 7200 RPM (8MB Cache) that sells for US$339.
I purchased a 250GB, 7200 RPM Western Digital drive, installed it in my ToughTech enclosure and it totally saved me from near catastrophe when my 80GB internal hard drive went bad. The ToughTech is super fast (FW 800), quiet (it’s fanless) and the unique FlexMount anti-shock protection keeps my drive safe from shock and also reduces enclosure noise.
