Hey Guys I have a question about an external hard drive.
So I decided i need an external hard drive for Leopard and Time Machine.
So i went on to 'TradMe' (Basically eBay in New Zealand) and looked for a 120gb external hard drive.
Let's say i wanted to buy this one.

I noticed that all of them said USB.
And as most of you know, MacBook Pros only have 2 USBs and i didnt want to use one of them for an external Hard drive which i will probably have plugged in 24/7.
And I don't have anything that uses the firewire ports. So i want to use them instead of the usb ports.
So my question is: Is there a way to use firewire instead of the usb? Is there like a USB to firewire cable?
thnx. pls answer
