Theos, thanks for mentioning that Expansion Bay Hard Drive Kit. I'd seen it in the past but forgot about it. I am now wondering if that would not be a better solution to clone my internet drive to the new SSD, versus using an external Firewire enclosure.
I therefore have the following two questions (directed to any of you reading this who knows the answer):
1) Will this Expansion Bay Hard Drive Kit give me faster data throughput than if I were to attach a FW400 external HD to my Wallstreet (via Firewire PC card)?
2) Why does that Expansion Bay Hard Drive kit product page say it is incompatible with Apple's stock 8GB hard drive "in some configurations"?
Regarding the OWC Legacy IDE SSDs, I too have waited a long time for them to drop to sub-$100 prices. But it looks like that won't happen for at least another year, probably even a year and a half. But my worry is that OWC may stop selling them altogether at some point. Then we'd be totally out of luck.
