Answer
I went to the Western Digital website and found this page listing all their portable hard drives:

And saw that "MyPassport Studio" was the only one with a FireWire interface, and it has a 500 GB capacity, here is its link:

I went to Seagate's website and found the page for the FreeAgentGo, but this portable hard drive series is not FireWire-capable.

Answer
This Is Not An internal Hard Drive ( Easy To tell As There Is No Way It Would Fit Into A Hard Drive Spot) And Yes. Any Kind Of Hard Drive Can Store Data.

BUT

I Would Strongly Suggest You Re-Con sitter What Your Buying.

I Bought A LaCie 500GB External Hard Drive For 32.99 + Tax (CAD) At Future. You Would Get A Far Better Deal Buying The Same As Me. 500GB Is x2 Larger than That One Incase You Didnt Notice

Yes. You can Use This To STore Information As Long As That Information Doesnt Need To Be On Your Master Drive. Ex. Some Games Need To Be Booten From Your Master Drive And An External HardDrive Is Automatically A Slave Drive. Your Master Drive Will Be C:/
