The external case has both connections to FW or USB1/2.

Firewire is a great standard, and like for like is much faster than USB (FW-400 kicks USB-1 a$$, similarly FW-800 kicks USB-2 a$$). I would connect everything using it if I had the choice, but other than DV cams, hardware that has a FW port seems to be considered 'high end' or 'prosumer' and is priced accordingly.
