[QUOTE="timmy_toad, post: 1355715, member: 195422"] thank you friend i couldn't have asked for more, brilliant. I haven't got anything to plug in my Firewire 800 socket at the moment LOL. What i do have at the moment is a USB 2 WD My Passport 1TB drive and a WD MyBookLive 3TB NAS drive, i use both of these, to alternately back up using Time Machine. I connect the MyBookLive to my MBP directly with an Ethernet cable, which as you say, is supposed to be up to 1000 mb/s so maybe that is a bit better than FW800 ? I thought that the Thunderbolt Port is only for Graphical Implementations NOT Data tim [/QUOTE]
