Thanks. I've just ordered that exact one. I already have the WD MyStudio I 500GB, so would i connect them together? If so, in what way? My plan was to run all my photos/videos/music from my new HDD and use my 500gb as my time machine hdd.

Connect FW cable from computer to MyStudio II . Connect the remaining FW port (MyStudio II) to the FW port on the MyStudio I.
Easy.

Buy a WD Raptor 300 GB 10.000 RPM HDD and a Firewire 800 , 3.5 enclosure.
Then buy a 500 GB or 1 TB HDD to store your stuff.
