Don't waste your money.

Invest in a nice Firewire 800 drive, or get a USB 3.0 PCI card and USB 3.0 HDD.

Unless you already have a Fibre channel interface (and if you do, you already have your answer) , you would need to also invest into that.

GBs of data really isn't that much these days.

Even USB 2.0 could transfer something like 3.5TB of data in a 24hr period (theoretical, more like 3TB actial). Gigabit Ethernet can theoretically do 10.8TB (again prob more like 8-9TB real life). No you don't need anything fancy.... Let is know if you need to start moving 4K Raw video files in real time....

Note that it's 4 Gb FC, not 4 GB FC.

Do you have a fiber channel RAID with around 16 drives to attach your machine to?

If not, then no, you definitely do not have a use for it.
