[QUOTE="milk is white, post: 683262, member: 27771"] Hi everyone- I want a new external HD, a firewire one on my macbook as it would be faster. i have a usb 2.0 one now, and it is somewhat slow. as my whole iTunes and iPhoto libraries are on the external HD (my 60gb macbook HD isn't big enough, thus i have the external hd plugged in at all times), it is important that it is efficient and dependable. however... i want to import movies from my video camera that only takes a firewire connection, and put it [B]directly[/B] onto a firewire drive. as you may be aware, the macbook only has 1 firewire port. thus, this poses a dilemma. 2 things: 1) what do i do about the lack of firewire ports? are there firewire hubs you can buy? or should i just go usb 2.0 on the external hd? 2) can anyone recommend a good hd (i looked in the sticky) that would be extremely dependable, considering i would have it plugged in all the time as a result of my iphoto and itunes libraries on it? thanks!!
