Yes, you have the right math for 1394b S800 bandwidth.
That makes sense.
Thanks!

Thanks for the review link Simon, these look very positive. The cons mainly seem to be that it is louder and hotter than 5400 drives. And as always, people commenting that it's 465GB, not 500GB. Although Julio seems dissapointed that it is "not free", and "does not iron your clothes."

My MBP died, so while it's in the shop, I'm trying to get a hold of this HDD to swap in at the same time as the new logic board. Will report back hopefully soon with my thoughts.

I thought about that Seagate drive or one very similar but went for the cheaper option.
I just bought the same drive as well for my 2007 MBP, and it should be here tomorrow. Can't wait to install it.
