Must be completely dependable, and use FIREWIRE 400.

Can buy drive and enclosure separately if needed.

Looking for:

Thanks for you help!

There are no disk media storage devices that are completely dependable.
Period.

So you would reduce your potential dismay (and data loss) by realizing
that a hard disk is temporary storage. So, you should strive to keep
backing up your data to other disks in order to avoid data loss. In
fact, if you examine the specification on newer SATA drives you will
find MTBF rates to be not so impressive, compared to other disk drive
options.

There are some nice enclosures over at http://www.wiebetech.com/
I believe this company is worth a good look for disk enclosures and the
like.
