[plug] USB2 or FW

[hooker at iinet.net.au]

I'm looking for some advice.

I'm considering an external cabinet with hot-swap disk for backups, and I'm not
sure whether to go with USB2 or Firewire. I know that the nominal transfer speed
is pretty similar, but does anyone have experience of how Linux handles USB or
Firewire connected disks? Particularly with bulk data transfers. Are there any
gotcha's that I should be aware of.

Thanks.
