You can use any drive with a firewire connection as now days there really will not be a big selection is the standard is being fazed out by Apple. On file sync another choice for important files is to use Dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/ This gives you a cloud syncing solution that is easy to use right in the finder. Drop a file in your dropbox folder it is uploaded and then it is synced with all your other computers that are logged into your dropbox account.

I know there was a reason I used to pay the premium for firewire even when I was just using the drive for backup and didn't really "need" the extra speed... :) On Apr 30, 2011, at 2:02 PM, Lee Larson wrote: On Apr 30, 2011, at 12:17 PM, Rick Burnett wrote: USB will work fine for Super Duper. I use them all the time. Firewire will just work faster. Also, older PowerPC Macs can't boot off USB drives. _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup
