Newer Technology expands miniStack line
The folks at Newer Technology, Inc have expanded their popular miniStack FireWire/USB line with two new options - a 320GB and a staggering 500GB version. The miniStack, as you might have guessed, was designed with the Mac mini in mind. It is a bootable FireWire/USB2 hard drive the also features a hub with two integrated FireWire ports and three USB 2.0/1.1 ports. The drives are available immediately and priced at $289.99 and $499.99, respectively.If neither of those sizes are right for you, the miniStack is also available in 80GB, 160GB, 250GB and 400GB versions. There's even a DIY kit for $99.95 if you want to add your own drive.
I have a few of these. They're fast, the fan is pretty quiet and they look good. 'Nuff said.

I don't have a mini but I wouldn't mind having one of these to go with my iBook. It would look better than the generic external case I use now.

Exactly brian...
And it would be alot nicer if the number of firewire ports were increased, as you would only be gaining one port. It can't be THAT difficult to add more. I mean, they did stuff half a TB in there. A few more firewire ports wouldn't hurt.
