am looking at getting that..
small question..
why does it have 2 fw400 ports??
am I being dim here?
EDIT: also.. said hdd will be on 24/7 along with my mac...
it'll constantly in use too... reading and writing.. is that going to be an issue? or will it cope with being on 24/7 or do I need to get a hdd with a fan like the western digital my book ones?

I've got one of those drives and mine is on 24/7 and used for all my media (iTunes, movies etc.) - never had a problem.
It has 2 Firewire ports so that you can daisy-chain another firewire device off the back of it, so it doesn't actually use up any FW ports.
As well as that drive, I've also got a bus-powered LaCie PocketDrive which I just plug straight in the back of the other LaCie drive. No additional power required.
I think you can daisy-chain up to 255 Firewire devices off one-port.

Yes, exactly. Any firewire device can be plugged straight in the back into the spare firewire port. iPod should be no different.

i've had my mac since about april and i've gone through 2 mouses. 1'st was a wired 1 that came with it. it stopped scrolling down.
then i brought a wireless 1 from luke (not his fault and not complaining to him) and now this 1 wont scroll up!

I've been through 6 mighty mice..
