[QUOTE="cowns_north, post: 1075769, member: 163697"] Hello, A straightforward question I've got a Mac Mini with the iTunes music folder currently on a separate firewire 400 drive, and am getting an additional external drive for time machine. Which way around would be the optimum set up? FireWire for iTunes, USB2 for time machine, or vice versa. My guess is the former because FW is faster, but not knowing much about the other differences between USB2 and FW, I'm thinking it may not be as obvious as that. Many thanks, Duncan [/QUOTE]
