It does not matter that the internal HDD is a 5400rpm WD Scorpio Blue. (There is no such thing as a 5600rpm WD Scorpio Blue.)

The Firewire 800 interface can only handle an absolute maximum throughput of 98 MB/s (786 Mbit/s). USB 2.0 can only do 60 MB/s (480 Mbit/s).

The h2benchw 3.12 Max Read Throughput for the Western Digital WD Scorpio Blue WD10JPVT 1TB 5400rpm is 114.4 MB/s (915.2 Mbits/s).

Hence, the internal HDD is faster than the interfaces. If you need/want external storage with higher throughput you will have to go to USB 3.0, eSATA, or Thunderbolt; with SSD and/or RAID disks.

This review is from: Western Digital My Passport Studio 1 TB FireWire 800 External Hard Drive WDBK8A0010BBK-NESN (Personal Computers)
I really like it. It comes with 2 cables, a usb, and a firewire 800 cable. the software included is okay but won't do much more than what "disk utility" can do on your mac. you can erase it using disk utility and add a password option (this works with osx 10.7 and above). i've been using with time machine on a macbook air and macbook pro and it works great. It feels like it is very high quality and very dense and sturdy. if you want to travel light this may be a little on the heavy side. overall, i would recommend it, especially if you are looking for something that looks good next to your mac. there are other drives out there that can do the same thing for less, but for me, i like something that looks good next to my macbook pro.

Looks great, nice and small for transporting. Did a 145GB time machine backup in under 30 mins!

Wow, just awesome. Works great for MBP.

This is a MAC formatted drive and it's features are geared toward OSX/Mac. I don't think it would work well with Windows. Double check specs before ordering for PC use.

The metal and black totally compliments the MBP color too.
