    Dear Everybody,

    I'm about to buy a My Book Premium 500 GB USB/FireWire for my notebook. My notebook has a FireWire connector ( http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/Resources/193/669139914.pdf), but I think it's the smaller, 4-pin version (like on this picture: http://public.online.ksu.edu/support/kyc/images/laptop/firewire.jpg)
    My question is that does anybody know what type of FireWire connector this external storage has? If it has the other type of FireWire connector than is there any way to connect it with FireWire to my notebook or only with USB 2.0?

    Thanks in advance!
