usb 2.0 vs. firewire 400
 
I have the Lacie Big D2 500 G drives. They can work as USB2 or Firewire. SD manuals seem to prefer Firewire but that informatio may be out of date so I thought I'd ask.

I'd prefer using USB because I can use a hub to plug into and only use one port on my MAC. I have 3 ext. drives, a printer and I will probably add a wireless USB mouse.

So is Firewire still the one and only way to go or is USB 2.0 reliable now too for use with SD and the iMac?

FireWire is absolutely still the way to go. The information is not out of date.
