I am thinking about buying an external hard drive - more specifically, an external hard drive enclosure, as that seems to be the more cost-effective way to do things. At any rate, paying for an external solution with FireWire is more expensive than just a USB 2.0 solution, so I'm wondering if, when it comes specifically to external hard drives, is there enough of a speed difference between FireWire and USB 2.0 to warrant the extra money? I've always equated "FireWire" with "better/faster", but I know in some instances and applications, the difference can be essentially negligible.
Any advice would be appreciated!
