Thanks GLC. I believe I'll be getting that one too.

Dazzer - I saw another post in these forums and the person said Apricorn were not to be found in the U.K. whatsoever.

Side note - I've been looking at the pricing for external enclosures and also for this type of adapter on U.S. & Canadian sites. It really seems to me that us Canucks are getting the short end of the pricing stick.

Examples: The cheapest CDN retail price for an Apricorn USB enclosure is $53.00. The same enclosure @ Newegg is $24.99 U.S. including rebate.

The adapter GLC pointed out to me retails for $49.95 CDN up here. It's $15.99 in the States. Even with shipping from Computer Geeks, I can get that adapter for 2/3 of the Canadian price. Interesting....
