Re: bus powered firewire drives?
The biggest issue is making sure you get a 7200 rpm drive if you plan on recording to it. Glyph and OWC seem to be the best. Check these:

Re: bus powered firewire drives?
From my experience, bus-powered seems to slow the bandwidth down a little by acting similar to USB---moving in pockets. BUT, I've not done enough testing to truly say that is the case. In other words, I don't trust it at this point.
