Finally broke down and bought myself a FW HD from Lacie. It stacks underneath my CD-RW, so it's a nice fit. Questions for Lacie users: is Silverlining necessary? I've heard it's not needed, but is it necessary for booting from the FW HD? I'd rather leave this software away from my computer. I can boot without any problems, or is there something I should know?
So far a breeze to use: plug-in, shows up, partitioned by drive utility in Mac OS X. But it's loud. I asked a bunch of times in the forum, but got no answers. I'm typing this from a small office, and we're talking loud - a touch below the Pismo fan.

I don't think you need silverlining if you are running under 9.1: it handles everything, afaik.

yup. the fan is loud. going to find out if it can be disabled safely...
