best portable thunderbolt hard drives image
iseegrace
I have the Mac OS X 10.7.3
2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
I am planning to get a portable external hard drive within the $200 budget mainly for video editting on Final Cut Pro and After effects and for storage.
I am so confused with fireware and 3.0
3.0 seems to be a good thing but will my macbook be compatible with it or will it function as a 2.0?
Please recommend me with the products with links. Thanks!

Final point is that Firewire 800 has wider bandwidth than USB. Also, USB never performs in real life situations equal to the spec.
Your computer (if it shows "MacBookPro8,1" for the Machine ID) is Early 2011, so it is USB 2.0. You cannot connect any USB 3.0 device to that. Your fastest option no matter what we think about USB 3.0 is still Firewire 800.... or Thunderbolt.
I also suggest an aluminum case for better heat dissipation. See links below.

How do I go about transferring data from my Vaio to my MacBook Air using a Seagate Backup Plus hard drive?

As in putting the data on the hard drive and than accessing it on my MBA. What wires would I need?

Answer
Very easy. Connect the drive to a usb port on your computer and copy paste all your important files from your computer to the external hard drive. If I go in more detail then you will have to open or explore your external hard drive and once the target window is open, go to your files or folder on the source drive and copy all your content by selecting it. Then go to your target drive and paste it. These are really basic instructions. You can google step by step instructions for more help.
