Big-TDI-Guy macrumors 68030 Jan 11, 2007 2,606 13 Nov 1, 2007 #3 My WD triple interface external drive goes into mine. DV Camera is also a likely use. But I am poor, and no DV for me. My justifications for using my FW800 instead of a USB variant are: It was on sale. It is super fast. Most importantly: It doesn't occupy any of my precious few USB ports. Oh yeah, I also forgot: Fire Wire allows you to daisy-chain other devices down the line, at least, that's what the words on my booklet say.
