Don't ignore eSata (external sata) for the same purpose.
(If you don't have an eSata connector you can get a Sata <--> eSata
cable for $10 or $20, just be sure it is 300 Gbit/sec rated.)
Especially for Linux I believe the sata drivers are more actively
maintained and have a much bigger user base than the firewire drivers.
Seagate for one has a couple of eSata 300 Gbit/sec drives. They
should be much faster than even firewire. (3x per the datasheet).

Amazon has the 500GB for $260
