I have 2 questions regarding Firewire, as Im planing on getting this drive, cause I liked its design.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/772995-REG/G_Technology_0G01993_G_DRIVE_mobile_USB_Hard.html
My plan is to conect it to my Mac using firewire, and daisy chain with a firewire 9 to 4 cable, to wich I will connect my video camera. Questions:
1) Mac Os puts the hard drive to sleep after some time. When the drive is at sleep, will I be able to use the firewire camcorder cable?
2)Out of curiosity, due to hard drive mechanical limitations to write/read, is a 5400RPM drive capable of saturating a firewire cable speed limits?
