[QUOTE="mrobbie, post: 820015, member: 81868"] Just out of curiosity, who on here with an external drive connects with USB 2.0 and who is using Firewire? I was looking at a WD drive with USB and FW connections, but noted that the USB only drive was much cheaper. Are the benefits of FW worth the extra $$? I have seen some reports showing they are close together in speeds, and others that show on a Mac that FW is almost twice as fast Thoughts on the matter appreciated! Cheers :D [/QUOTE]
