[ubuntu-uk] fast external hard drive

[Albert Vilella]

Hi,

I am in the market for a fast external hard drive that I could
potentially use to have more than one Linux distro/version on my
laptop.

Has anyone had good experiences with firewire devices?

My idea would be to put the most essential IO-intensive parts of the
OS in the internal hard-drive, and put the rest of the stuff on the
external one.

Any pointers?

Cheers,
