best portable hard drive firewire 800 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.

Hello. I am running low on space on my computer and was in need for an external hard drive. Which brand and model is great in performance, size and price? I'm looking to spend no more than 100 dollars. Thanks!

I would advice you to purchase a Western Digital My Passport Studio, which is available in various hard drive capacity sizes. This hard drive will be pre-formatted for Mac OS X and supports not only USB, but also FireWire 400 and 800. You can format any hard drive yourself for Mac OS X, so that is not a requirement, it is only handy that it has been done for you. A hard drive which supports FireWire 800 however is great, as the transfer speed will be much higher than with USB or FireWire 400. Most external hard drives only support USB, which is slower than FireWire 800. The drive is also very portable and includes an indicator light showing you how full the hard drive is. Last but not least, the casing of the drive is non-shiny silver, just like the silver is on a MacBook Pro or Mac Mini for example. ;-)
