I respectfully disagree. I tried several external USB2 HDs, and the trasnfer speed always seemed relatively slow (like 10MB/s at best). OTOH, I just got a G-Drive (Hitachi) with FW800/USB2, and FW800 is really faster than USB2 (on the same drive), at least twice the speed. Even when connected to a FW400 port, it's still way faster than USB2. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
