Seagate external firewire opinion

[Willie Gnarlson <willie.gnarlson@gmail.com>]

Hello lovers of all that is Debian,

I am thinking of purchasing an external Seagate USB 2.0 / Firewire
hard drive for use for backing up the systems on my LAN
(incidentially, I'm looking at http://www.bacula.org/ for doing the
backup) . I plan to use it in Firewire mode rather than USB (if that
matters).

>From lspci:

0000:02:07.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Lucent Microelectronics FW323 (rev 61)

Does anyone have any horror or success stories with the external
Seagate drives (possible models: ST3160024A-RK, ST3300801CB-RK, or
ST3200823A-RK)?

Thanks a lot for reading.
