Hi all

I am curious to know if the new Firewire 800 external drives are worth the extra money over a Firewire 400 of the same model. I found a few reviews that said that depending on what sort of files you are transferring, there maybe between a 10 and 30% increase in speed.

Is that realistic or is it way more? Are there other benefits Im not seeing here as there is a reasonable difference in price?

Im looking at something in the 120gb range for a backup HD while Im in the field with my PBook 15"

kind regards
