Sonnet and maybe OWC do an adaptor from thunderbolt to firewire I think, maybe also eSATA, eSATA would be my choice.

For backup USB2 would be OK into USB3 but I am not a fan of USB for hard drives. Most of my external drives are 'G' Tech, using USB has a serious impact on speed compared with FW but for backup it wouldn't matter.

This is one link:

That would allow you to plug in two eSATA drives I think. I am getting behind with this technology!


Thanks Robert, my mind is at ease and the planets are all back in alignment. I was very concerned my G-Tech Raid system was already obsolete. This technology train is going way too fast nowadays. Or maybe as I get older I am slowing down more and just don't care to keep up with the tech party.
