If you buy an external Firewire drive choose one with a new chipset on the controllercard because the older Firewire drives are a bit slow. This has nothing to do with the speed of the hd-mechanism or the maximum Firewire speed. Check the actual throughput. A recent 5400rpm drive can be quicker than an older type 7200rpm hd because of the controller used.
