Hi,

I am looking to purchase this backup drive for my MacBook:

Anybody here knows if this is SATA or PATA drive inside the enclosure? Would be nice to have SATA disk to be able to swap the drive in case of failure.

Thanks

Did some more searching and it looks like it is PATA drive (according to reviews at Newegg.com site).

Also, it is Bus powered, it might not work without an AC Adaptor on your MacBook.

yeah -- you should consider firewire first, USB 2 second
