Ya, it's got FW800 but only one port. Shouldn't matter as you can daisy-chain up to 24 FW800s devices - except for the two iOmega FW drives I got on the cheap a couple of years ago. 1 FW800 port and 1FW400 port. So I could connect them, and the end of the chain, but the later one's speed would fall to USB 2 speeds.
I understand that new Macs have USB 3. I was just surprised to see in the Mac section of the shop these large (to me) 1 and 3tb drives purported to be for Macs when they would only really work (at decent speeds) on more recent Macs.
On a slight variation - can anyone recommend a good (i.e. it actually works) Firewire (800) hub? Or a FW to ethernet (if such exists). Just really want to tidy up my desk and hide some ugly cables.
Many thanks for all of the replies, so far!
