Seems expensive. I guess you're paying for the connectivity but in that case the Seagate GoFlex appears better 'cause the money you invested in the interface can be used when newer drives come out.
Can't see how this is a bargain after getting a 2Tb for $111 from Target.
Unless you're a firewire junkie
this is a 2.5 not a 3.5 so no psu
Regardless, a 1TB portable HDD can be had for much less than $180 without FireWire. The FireWire requirement adds the premium here…
Macs/time-machines love firewire. USB 2 is painful and USB 3 should be ok at 5 GBPS vs 800 Firewire at 6 GBPS. Cheapest I could find on ebay was 225+ from memory.
I love FireWire :)

Firewire?? lol what year is that from.
I dont have anything that has firewire.
2 deal killers
1. no USB3 port (should have FireWire AND USB3)
2. expensive
Good buy if you need FW800 speed
no usb3 is kind of a bummer
