Comment: FireWire externals (Score 1) 609
I don't want to have swappable USB drives, I want all hard drives available all the time on my network.
I use daisy-chained FireWire 800 externals as I only have a laptop. Mine is good for 16 devices per port, of which I have one 800 and one 400. So I'm good for 64TB, although that'd be 32 little PSUs, and FireWire externals tend to be quite a bit more expensive per unit than USB externals and of course raw internal drives.
