Your pic shows the big one, but the small one found on laptops/camera is a square hole about the third of the size of a USB socket and a little indent to make sure cable connector is in the right way. |
Correction. There are two types of firewire and three types of plug (interface) you've forgotten about firewire 800 - this is faster than the standard firewire 400 - and from my experience with graphics work - well worth the investment (I run it with a Apple G5 powermac).
I've been using externals for years (seagate, micronet and iomega) and have settled on LaCie as a really reliable brand... I've two @ 160Gb FW 400 Blue and 500Gb FW400/800.
Yes to USB 2.0 but it's soooooo slow!
