I am looking at adding a third Lacie BigDisk 500 GB drive. I now have 2 500 GB drives that look like one via SoftRAID. And I have two Lacie 250 GB drive that are copies of each other.

What would be the best Firewire PC card or Hub to do this? Firewire 800 might be the way to go as the Lacies have Firewire 800 on them.

Any help with this would be great, thanks.

Yes I want to make sure I do not loose any data!! Photos are important to me as I am a photographer.

thanks,
West

How loose is your data?

OK I see that I had a miss-spelling I do not want to lose any data. Is that beter.

Make sure whatever card you get it supports Deep Sleep on Macs.
