Hi!
Since this is the only mesage group I frequent, thought I'd post this query here.
I want to buy an external hard drive; but want *both* fire wire and USB interfaces. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
~Yogi

Does firewire and usb2.0 (which is backwards compatible, I believe).

Worth a look, anyway.

For retail purchase take a look at these sites: http://www.fwdepot.com and http://www.macsales.com

I don't know if either of them have USB2.0 yet, but they both have firewire (IEEE1394) as well as USB - one of them has combo enclosures as well.

Hey Hugo, off-topic question... Do you read/post to the NSX mailing list by chance?

The UK one, yes... I read NSXprime too, but don't post a lot there.
