Get a firewire card and drive if you are purchasing new, it's a lot faster then usb, and then you can get an ipod too to travel with.</font>
USB 2.0 is now faster than Firewire (480mbps vs 400).
Is my understanding that Apple just rolled out a new firewire (Firewire 800) which is running at 800mbps, but I've only seen the ports on the new powerbook (no 800 peripherals yet).
