    Default Hooking up Multiple External HDD's

    I was wondering if it is a good idea to hook up multiple HDD's to my IMac (24" 2.83 duo)? I am running an external 500 GB through my USB 2.0 and want to get a 1tb to hook up through firewire 800. Would I have any problems with this or does it not matter?

    Why don't you just connect it to another USB 2.0 port? It's faster and more common. I have 2 external HDDs, both connected on USB ports, and it works perfect.

    Thanks for the responses. Firewire is much faster than USB 2.0. I'm not trying to make one single HDD so I'm gonna go ahead and just run both of em.

    I connect two external hdd's at the same time, no problem for me. Every once in a while it might lag a little bit, but thats about it.
