I made the mistake and purchased two usb external hard drives for back up and they are painfully slow. I already own a firewire drive which I was using for backups but had to delegate it to another use. Now I would like to purchase another firewire but since I only have one firewire slot on the G5 (I think), I need some sort of firewire hub. Can anyone recommend one? Also can anyone recommend a 150GB firewire drive? Thanks, Cindy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
