Thanks Chris, Is USB 2 speed really an issue for b/u?
After the initial b/u [and it is all in background] there is not a lot of data moving about and I've certainly had no problem with my existing Firewire 400 drive which is probably not as fast as USB2. I am thinking of USB as Apple seem to be loosing enthusiasm for FW [odd as I think they more or less invented it]! I shall be using a handful of 5m cables with built-in boosters and I think that I have to choose between a Western Digital 2TB drive with it's own RAID firmware or use Apple's DiskUtility which will do it with 2 x 1TBs. WDs seem the best as they seem about the only drives that now come with a security slot [LaCie seem more or less to have abandoned them], tho' in this case I'll need something like a Kensington un-powered mini USB hub as the WDs only have a single USB connection.
