Hey everyone,

So my new MBP is on the way, and I sacrificed storage so that I could get an SSD. I now have a need for 2 external drives. One for my video library, and another for a time machine backup (which would include those video files). So I guess I'm looking at 2 1TB drives, or the video drive could be only 750 GB. I'd prefer firewire, which if i understand correctly would allow me to daisy chain them and just have one connection to the mac. Also I'm looking for the drive for video files to be portable and bus powered. I'd appreciate any i put on specific drives! Anyone use a similar setup?

Thanks!
 
I've had great success with OWC drives.

Not bus-powered:
