The Macally PHR-S250UAB Hi-Speed FireWire/USB 2.0 Storage Enclosure converts any 2.5" SATA hard disk drive (up to 9.5 mm height), into a desktop external drive. This enclosure features a solid-aluminum body, which provides excellent heat dissipation. It's equipped with a USB 2.0 port that's backwards compatible with a USB 1.1 interface. The PHR-S250UAB features dual FireWire interfaces that support both FireWire 800 and 400 connections. The dual FireWire ports also facilitate additional storage via daisy chaining multiple drives together. There are two shock-absorbent rubber strips that buffer each side of the enclosure, augmenting both durability and grip. The PHR-S250UAB is hot-pluggable, bus-powered and compatible with both PC and Mac.
