Firewire devices that I use

This is the list of the Firewire devices that I regularly use:
  • Lacie brick USB2/FireWire 400 hard disk (80 Gb)
  • Lacie Rugged USB2/FireWire 400/800 hard disk (320 Gb)
  • FireDisk 800-s Unibrain external hard disk (300Gb)
  • SanDisk FireWire 400/800 CF card reader
Will the single FireWire 800 port of the new MacBook Pro will be enough for me?
What do you think? What is your opinion?

Note: I do not have a video camera but if I buy one I will possibly buy a MiniDV one.

Lacie rugged hard disks

After selling my PowerMac G5 and getting a Macbook Pro, I decided that I should also get USB and Firewire powered hard disks (for lowering the noise as well as having more portability).
I now have two Lacie Rugged portable hard disks. A USB-only (250Gb) and a USB/Firewire 400/800 one (320 Gb).


I also have a FireDisk 800-s Unibrain external hard disk (300Gb) that is not bus-powered.
