I've been using a flycase (black, litle unit but don't know the exact
model)) enclosure with a laptop harddrive. IIRC you can just get the
case alone then put a drive in it. It was 2nd hand when I got it. I
carry it in a ruck sack on the motorbike, chuck the back in the corner
when taking it off. Its taken some pretty good abuse and still goes
strong. Mind its only a 20 gig laptop drive though so its not fast.
Doesn't have a problem with heat, certainly doesn't feel like it gets
warmer than the ambient temperature of the room.
