Rieni,
I bought this thing
http://www.cooldrives.com/dual-drive-firewire-enclosure-two-drive-enclosure-raid-firewire-aluminum-case-mini-1394b.html
It's an firewire external enclosure that hosts 2 ATA HD with RAID 0 built in.
You can remove the jumper and it will show up as 2 independent HDs. It
supports both both 1394a and 1394b standard. I use a harddrive speed test
program by Canopus. The speed is as fast as my internal SATA Raid 0.
Right now I'm connecting it to a 1394a FW400 port. I'm thinking of getting a
1394b card. Not sure if it will boost the speed. I know 1394a speed is fast
enough for video editing. But I also use this drive to back up all huge AVi
files. So it won't hurt to have a even faster connection.
Thanks
Taky

This is not OT at all!
And Firewire 400 is more than fast enough for editing DV. What drive did
you buy by the way? LaCie? I am considering getting one for my Apple G4.
