[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 820020, member: 24160"] You can check out the thread I put together where I documented my search for an external drive. While it's 2 yrs old now, think it's still pretty accurate except for the pricing and the size of drives available. You can scroll down to post # 11 for the results of multiple timed tests of USB vs FW. [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/other-hardware-peripherals/56063-hard-drive-reviews-500-gb-w-fw-800-a.html[/url] I have replaced my internal drive now with a 7200 rpm. Should probably post some more testing to see what effect that has on transfer speeds. I will also say that 2 years later, I am still happy with my choice of the OWC enclosure. It has performed admirably well. [/QUOTE]
