$30 to get what tho?
Dont get me wrong -- I have 5 FW800 devices hanging off my iMac (including one of those Seagate adapters for 3.5" drives) -- but for simple backup its not going to save any time or energy.
about the only nice thing is using a FW port rather than a USB port.
heres a 1TB quad interface green drive for $95 after rebates: http://www.macmall.com/p/Fantom-Drives-H...dp.fejdjga
