How much more does a 2TB HDD cost?
£20?

PCI - 2 port FireWire

Does anyone still use firewire?

If you have a miniDV camera or similar, then yes...

(I also use it for analogue capture using a miniDV camera as a real time

I use a miniDV. My antique laptop (dicky laptop) has a firewire port. If you
need firewire on a desktop, ebay ~£3.
