Same here. I have a $250 FireWire audio interface that imposes basically no load on the system even with upwards of 10 channels in use. I chose FireWire over USB because of all the complaints I saw in the Amazon reviews for every USB audio interface I looked at; many of the FireWire audio interfaces had absolutely glowing reviews. I've had similarly excellent experiences with disks connected via FireWire.
