Need a reccomendation for an SSD drive dock for my Mac

[StuntDummy]

I have a Hyperdeck Shuttle on the way and was wondering what the best way is to get the footage into FPC. I'm guessing an SSD docking station is the way to go but I am not even sure of that. If a dock is the solution, is Firewire 800 the flavor of choice? Any brands in particular I should look for?

Thanks for the links. I guess I would have to go with the second one because I don't think the 27" iMac has eSATA.

yeah, thats one drawback with an imac - no expansion options : (

yeah, that second one is definitely going to be your most future-proof option.
has all those different ports so you can use it about anywhere...

If you add an ExpressCard slot to your iMac via Thunderbolt (using Sonnet's Echo ExpressCard) you can then add a cheap eSATA ExpressCard adapter and that should work.
