Hang fire for a week if you can as Seagate are about to launch their new bits that are especially designed for using with Macs, feature USB 2.0, Firewire 400 & 800 and look good as well IMO (see below).

no firewire but has usb2 and has esata for if you upgrade your laptop to 1 with an esata port.

total cost £78.

he can still use the usb2 connection. I'm presuming he meant laptop as they musnt sell many desktops. either way the esata will future proof him for when he upgrades his computer in the future as most motherboards only have firewire400 as the licence for firewire800 is too expensive so people have to have the slower firewire400 usually.
 
Getting a Mac Pro Soon.

Just to let you know
it has
Firewire 400 & 800
E-sata (need cable to connect from mobo to backplate)
USB
