OCIA.net checks out the Bytecc Mobile USB HDD Enclosure in their latest review. Below is a direct quote from the review:
"Size and mobility, the ultimate goal of most external enclosures, were at one time proportional in relationship. If you chose to increase the size of your external drive capacity you almost always had to increase the size of your enclosure. Multiple drives were used to give external capacity and cost was a key limiting factor. Speed was also a limiting factor if budgets were tight. Capacity has become less of an issue as the new IDE hard drives have increased cache and capacity while the cost has become more reasonable. Firewire was already available but had not been accepted as readily as USB. USB was slow and thus prevented real time computing of any critical processes. With the advent of USB 2.0 another avenue of external high speed connection became possible."
