 ... and a USB cable. The firewire cable is permanently attached to the Drive which has its pros and cons, but the cable is also used to cover the USB input and the power supply input (not really needed). The drive is very reliable and not really had many problems with it. The drive is pretty loud but it hums along happily enough in the background. The USB input is very tight and you are forced to use the cable that comes with the Drive, you will find that you will have problems to plug in your own cables; t...more
