I just looked at one of the most popular online shops around
here. They have about 50 different USB enclosures; prices
start at 10 EUR. But they have only six Firewire enclosures

However, they do hav

Cheap controller in the USB enclosure. I've used quite
a few USB enclosures in the past years, and there are
significant performance differences. As a rule of thumb,
the cheaper the box, the slower it is. Of course there
are exceptions to that rule.
