Yes, great drives, especially for the price. You could probably get away with the basic version with just usb 2 and fw400. The 400 is fast enough for some pretty large sessions.

I have that same drive. I'm using it on the FW 800 bus. No issues or complaints except for the bright-ass LED. At night it makes my white dog look freaky.
