Ext Hard Drive: FW400 or FW800?
I just ordered a 24" iMac and am about to order one or two external hd's to go with it. One hd will be for Time Machine and the other would be for songs, movies, and maybe some pic's. I found a nice 500GB minStack v2 from NewerTech that has a 16MB cache and USB2.0/FW400 connections. The v3 adds FW800 (and is of course more expensive).
Based on my usage, would I notice a difference between FW400 annd FW800? Since there's only one FW800 on the iMac, could I daisy chain the two hd's together using FW800 (both of them have FW400 and FW800 hubs).

Personally I would go for the FW800. Just a nice option to have when you need it.
you can daisy chain 2 FW800 external drives.
