couple questions....

1. do firewire 800 drives see much of a speed increase in transfer speed? i know i've heard that because of the limited speed of the HD itself, it can't really saturate even fw400.... just curious if anyone has experience and can inform.

2. what's a good place to get such a drive (external of course)... i am just kinda looking into how much more they are than the usual drive... and haven't even had much luck finding many options.

thanks
