[QUOTE="C-photo, post: 1421939, member: 172661"] no wait, I didn't think of that--the MBP is an i5 that I got in Nov2010 as my first Mac, with 8GB of RAM in it; it doesn't have an eSATA port, but does have a PC card slot... what I remembered was trying to connect the 2 GDrives with the eSATA cable. hmm... so if FW800 is the fastest port on the MBP, is it pointless to add an external scratch disk?
