Hi all,
I'm looking to buy a new 2tb external hard drive and was wondering if anyone had and suggestions. I have an 08 model macbook with a firewire 400 port so I'd like to be able to utilise this. I'd also like the hard drive to be compatible with firewire 800 and possibily usb 3.0 as well for when I hopefully upgrade me computer in the next year.
I've looked at the new seagate goflex drives which seem to offer these upgrade options but there is no firewire 400 option. does anyone know if i buy the goflex with firewire 800 whether I can then get a firewire 800 to 400 conversion cable and plug it into my macbook?
cheers
tom
