    Im a DJ and I need an external FIREWIRE HD for gigs. At home, I would like to use this HD wirelessly via my airport. It is worth mentioning that the airport only has one USB out on it and I currently have my printer using it. It there a HD out there that would work for me?

    If you are using Airport express you can add a USB hub to your base station and have up to 4 USB devices recognized my your mac.

    I am using this hub, because it fits sleekly under the airport base station.

    The airport the hub and my MacBook Pro all work great together.

    I love having the Firewire 800 on this Hard Drive it is so much faster. I am also impressed by the speed while using it with my airport.

    The 2nd link is the same as the first. I really like that Hub. Matches the APE very well.

    I have a WD 400 firewire that I will use connected directly to my MBP when out. Will I notice a big difference compared to the 800?

    If I find a need for one, yes. As of now I really only need one USB for my printer. Why?
