[Ti] no FW800

[Ian Collier]

But the LaCie drive in the referenced MacWorld test was FW400 only -  
so hardly surprising it was the one of the slowest - and recommended  
as very good value for users who don't have FW800.

When macuser.co.uk tested a number of FW drives including the  LaCie  
d2 Extreme 160 GB it was the fastest drive on test. (Sept '04 http:// 
www.pcpro.co.uk/macuser/labs/20:18/hard-drives/products.html )

LaCie's d2 drives are fast, cheap and reliable in my experience - the  
one's in the Porsche designed cases are cheap, and although the cases  
look slick they do feel flimsy.
