So I have read that utilizing an external sata will not allow me to make bootable backups, which as fine as long as it will allow folder synchronization, i.e. itunes folder 1 is different than itunes folder 2, so software compares them and makes them the same. Will this work? Much faster than firewire 400? I take a LOT of photos and also want to be able to transfer them to an external HD much faster...anythign I'm missing or is this just way faster by buying a mac compatibile expresscard and new FW HD case?

File transfers are fine once you're "inside" an OS (OSX or Windows).
Most current drives are able to read/write (~60-70Mbps) about twice as fast as the practical bandwidth of FW400 (~30MBps).
I love eSATA; AZIO makes a very nice eSATA+USB2 enclosure for $33 at NewEgg.

so I could use the USB 2.0 cable to make y bootable backups, and my e-sata to do any consistent backing up and synchronizing of files, folders, etc? So I could use 1 drive for both purposes? That would be great...

oh, and which card is recommended for the MBP or MB? I found 1 that appears to work for mac, but want to make sure I get one that is tested and works well with the OS. Thanks!
