Portable hard drives. +K possibility

[brian.walker]

Which of these two hard drives would be better?

LaCie Rugged All-Terrain 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive 301370

or

LaCie Rugged All-Terrain 500 GB USB 2.0/FireWire 400/800 Portable External Hard Drive 301371



I wasn't to sure of the differences, any one better then the other?

If you have a firewire port.

way better

the second one will transfer faster. do you know if you have a firewire port? its almost the same size as usb, but one side is.... i forgot the term, so we'll go with half a stop sign

 

[Dr.NS]

pretty basic. do you have firewire? get the firewire if so

if you do not have firewire, do not purchase the one with said firewire.

 

[brian.walker]

$28

what are you planning to do with this hard drive that requires it to be "all terrain"?

 

[fsscott]

the fuck brand is lacie?
have fun with your dead harddrive, WD all day

 

[SDrvpr]

get the firewire then

 

[andrew.ski]

firewire for sure. the transfer rates with firewire are SOOOOO much faster. your not gonna know if you get the USB but once you go firewire you never go back.

 

[Style+eeze]

get the firewire one!

alright id go strait to Revealingskirt, he is my friend, and works at best buy, he could smash the isht out of you with info on both probably. Just pm him asking him. tell him i told you to ask.

 

[epoxiedtip]

Firewire= FIRE HOSE OF INFO

USB= garden hose of info

enoughsaid. I have the bottom one and it is great

 

[FBGM]
