[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1490975, member: 145676"] I have several freeagent goflex drives from Seagate. They do not need external power. [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00455MCRA/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]Amazon.com: Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1.5 TB USB 3.0 Ultra-Portable External Hard Drive in Black STAA1500100: Electronics[/URL] They come by default with USB 3.0 - but you can get a firewire cable or thunderbolt adapter. I have both - IMHO the drive isn't fast enough to saturate firewire so it isn't worth the money to get a thunderbolt adapter and cable.
