Re: best external 1 TB drive (firewire) for mac

eSATA is sorta supported on macs, but tons of issues [just search eSATA over at the apple forums]

also, i don't think any come w/ an eSATA connection jack...i'm pretty sure you've got to install an eSATA PCI card at this point


as for speed yes eSATA is faster than any of the others in theory...however you've got a lot of factors that play in, and in most peoples situation yer not gonna be getting the full 3M/s that eSATA touts...FW800 should be more than sufficient...just a fwiw
