Where is the thanks button when you need it.

Cheers Ifti. I didn't know that they did portable drives with firewire. Thought they all had an external power supply :happy2:

You get the odd few that support both, but I tend to stick with Western Digital since they've never let me down before.

The Western Digital Studio range have Firewire ports as well as USB.
The smaller drives with no external power are the 'My Passport' drives.
The larger desktop HDD sized ones are the 'My Book' range.

Either way, they always come with all the relevant USB and Firewire cables etc in the box as well.

Ifti have you ever run any hdd benchmarks on your ssd as by just saying your speeds recover is analogous to saying your butt dyno says your car is quicker.

That's my theory on why the speed recovers. I cant explain it any other way. After an update, on boot for example, it takes around 30 secs. Even after several reboots its the same. After a few hours, however, when the drive has been idle etc, it'll drop back to about 16 secs again.
Check over on the Vertex forum, plenty of other owners state the same.
