MacGurus Burly Hotswap
Firewire + USB2 Enclosure
PERFECT for Time Machine!
The 24/7 Backup Drive Solution
The Ultimate in Firewire Storage 
SATA Hard
Drives! - Oxford 924 Bridge - 1394b
For the Fastest Possible Performance - 800Mb/sec!

Firewire 800
+ Firewire 400
+ USB2 compatibility
Tired of cheap junky plastic Firewire enclosures that
fail because of insufficient cooling? Unhappy with those brick power supplies
that
clutter
up your workspace - and frankly don't supply very stable power to your
drives?
Then the Burly Hotswap Firewire 800 enclosure is for you. Solid
steel construction.
Internal
power supply and 2 cooling fans to give your precious hard drives the absolute
optimum longevity. This is the supreme Firewire enclosure made. Nothing
compares today with this rock solid, state of the art storage
system.
Nothing is faster in a single bay Firewire enclosure either.
We at MacGurus left no stone unturned in the search for a new paradigm
in Firewire storage. This is it. No wimpy plastic here, so burly you can stand
on it.
Every component chosen for toughness and the prime time ability to support your
hard
drives with the absolute maximum in cooling and power. In fact we consider that
to be the number one minimum priority of ANY drive enclosure: Maintaining the
proper conditions for the absolute best possible drive longevity. Is your data
worth anything short of that?
Absolutely
the finest Firewire drive you can get for Time
Machine,
Apple's new backup system.
Stick a big backup drive in your Burly 1 Bay and attach it to any computer running
Leopard - designate it as the Time Machine backup drive and let 'er run. Time
Machine will update the backup every hour, all day and all night. The Burly
is completely
capable of keeping your backup drive up and safely running 24 hours a day.
This is the perfect high speed storage for your iMac, Powerbook
or new Intel MacBook. External bootable storage for any native Firewire Mac.
Fully compatible with Firewire 400 or Firewire 800 ports with the greatest
speed
possible on
both.
The Oxford 924 bridge also incorporates a high speed, 480 Mb/sec USB2.0 port
for those needing that capability. We recommend Firewire for the most efficient
data transfers. USB2 is a bit less capable bus, never designed with hard drive
data transfers in mind. It works fine, but Firewire works better giving you
the most extreme in high performance.
Features:
- Oxford 924 Firewire 800 and USB2.0 Bridge board
- Uses High Speed SATA or SATAII Hard
Drives
- Hotswap Tray and drives compatible with all MacGurus Burly SATA
Enclosures
-Drives and trays can be moved back and forth between enclosures
without
reformatting
- Complete with Firewire 400, Firewire 800 and
USB2 cables
- Compatible with any computer with any Firewire or USB port
- Platform non-specific - Works with any OS
Options:
Hotswap Drive Trays come in either standard or
LCD versions. The LCDs not only satisfy the need for eye candy but have temperature
and fan monitoring
as well as audible alarms. Additional spare trays can be purchased at bottom
of page.
Note: LCD trays will not work in standard bays. The reverse does work, standard trays work perfectly in LCD bays. So if you have an LCD equipped enclosure
you can purchase additional LCD or standard trays. If you have a standard tray equipped enclosure you can only use standard trays.

can get your Burly with or without hard drive installed. These are top of the
line retail drives with either a 5 year (Seagate) or 3 year (Hitachi) warranty.
