[QUOTE="MartinS, post: 1197676, member: 22279"] This isn't necessarily true - I had to start booting off a Lacie FW backup when the HDD in my 2006 iMac gave up the ghost a few months ago. It's actually quicker than the internal drive. Depends on the disk, I guess. I set the Lacie to be my boot drive, and every time I re-boot I select the internal drive in a Finder window and eject it; unless I do this is seems to make the whole system slower. [/QUOTE]
