Ok, so do I? I purchased the 2011 MBP with the 128gb SSD and need a place to store my music, videos, and to backup documents. The plan is to purchase a 750gb WD Scorpio Black 7200rpm from Amazon but I am getting lost in all the different hard drive enclosure options. I will not be transferring large files back and forth very often (maybe a 4gb file here and there) from my SSD to my external. However, I will be downloading movies and such to my external. Do I need firewire?
This is the enclosure I really like the looks of. Sleek and small. Just doesn't have firewire. I really don't want to spend a ton on a firewire enclosure if I don't need to, seeing as Thunderbolt is on the rise.
