Recommendations for powered external HD with firewire and USB 3.0.

[nokian93]

Hey guys im looking for an external hard drive that will have firewire capabilities but also usb 3.0. A 2tb is what im looking for but a 1tb will also do. The reason for going this route is because my 2007 and 2011 MBP's obviously have the firewire port still but also would like to future proof with 3.0. Thank you guys and gals I will appreciate all the information.

I was looking at these for reference:

anyone have any input?

Have you looked at the Seagate GoFlex drives?

They have swappable interface modules. So you can really future proof interfaces.

Unfortunately they don't combine USB3 and FW800 in one interface module.
