Recommended IDE-to-USB bridge chipsets and hard drive enclosures?

[G. Mirov]

Hi All,

which of the supported IDE-to-USB (USB-to-IDE) bridge chipsets work
best with FreeBSD 4.x and 6.x?

Which external IDE-to-USB hard drive enclosures (caddies, cases) would
you recommend?

Does anyone here use an Icy Box IC-351U with FreeBSD? What chipset
is it based on?

I've been searching for information on a reliable supported chipset with
decent performance in an enclosure that does not overheat easily, but
sadly haven't found the answers I need, therefore any recommendation
from personal experience will be welcome. Thank you.
