Good idea. No telling what the "dot oh" version will do.

I have found that USB2 works almost as well as FireWire. Things like 
Migration Assistant want FireWire so you could find yourself locked out 
without it. However, if at some time in the future it turns out you must 
have FireWire you can get an ATA to FireWire box for little money.

There is no room inside the case for anything to be added. It is also not 
easy to get in there.
