I like what Dale and Dan both say about the quad interfaces. If you limit yourself to the two interfaces you have with your old Mac, you may need one of the other interfaces for your next Mac. I have one of the macsales/OWC 1TB Mercury Quad boxes with a Hitachi drive. It works like a champ for CCC with iBook FW 400, MacBook USB, and two Intel iMacs, using FW 400, and FW 800.
