I have a WD passport studio
My Passport Studio 320 GB Triple Interface Hard Drives ( WDMT3200 )
The main reason I brought it was because of its FW but it is only FW400 which I was aware of when purchasing.. As I have a white MacBook this was really handy..
Now I want to but a new MacBook and it only has FW800 - Curiosity got the better of me and I started to wonder if I could use a FW800 cable from the HDD or if there would be compatibility issues and so forth..
I then read that apparently the HDD I have ships with a USB, FW800 to FW400 (which is what I use) and FW 800 to FW800.
Can I buy a FW800 - FW800 cable either from them or just online from someone else and will it just work?
Has anyone has any luck in doing so?
Or any input would really be appreciated as I really do not want to go back to USB 2.0.
I will include the link that I found the review about the cables..
