I got an ICYBOX IB-RD2262USEb RAID Enclosure for 2.5" HDDs to plug some of my spare SATA disks into my Mac.
This enclosure has two main benefits. It enables me to plug my external 2.5" disks using Firewire-800, which is faster and less CPU consuming than USB2, and it enables me to plug the two disks using a single cable. Another nice feature is that is also has an eSATA plug so that I may later connect it to my Synology.Continue reading...
I just got a Crucial C300 SSD to plug in my Mac. And it came in revision 02 ; but the latest bug free firmware is revision 07.

There also is an option to get the tools offline since you use the Google Chrome browser. Which means that you can mostly continue to work even if you loose access to the Internet.Continue reading...
