[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1426192, member: 145676"] The main problem is the thunderbolt cable is an active cable - vs passive cables that USB and FireWire use. [url=http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/07/why-thunderbolt-cables-will-be-expensive-until-2013/]Why Thunderbolt cables will be expensive until 2013 | Ars Technica[/url] FW 800 is enough for a lot of things. I was using a FW 800 external drive as a scratch disk for adobe premiere and it worked fine. That being said I like my thunderbolt drives. [/QUOTE]
