If you listened to the podcast this week, you'll remember I talked about the great Firewire/USB external hard drive and hub combination from OWC. I loved this drive and bought it myself. If you have not been over to the MacReviewCast website yet, please make sure you see the pictures of the drive I have up on my Smugmug account. The features are worth repeating here.

  • USB 2.0 High-Speed Hub
  • Firewire 1394A Repeater/Hub
  • Switch for Firewire or USB hard disk mode
  • Smart interactive cooling system with thermal probe automatically
    regulating fan speed
  • Massive passive heat sink to radiate heat away from hard drive
  • Smart power switch - NewerTech miniStack will power up and down in tandem
    with your Mac Mini
  • Special micro security slot designed to allow the NewerTech miniStack to
    be anchored to a desk
  • 2 FireWire 400 (1394A) ports (6pin)
  • 4 USB 2.0 High Speed (USB1.1) - 1 port (4pin) upstream (B Type) / 3 Ports
    downstream (A Type)

OWC gave us a drive that's functional, easy to use, and works well, doesn't
that sound like all good Mac software and hardware?
