    Might consider a new computer. Firewire is a bottleneck for todays HDDs. Best option for speed u laid out is the 1TB SSD scenario. Is your SSD using sataII? If so the money spent on a 1TB SSD is probably not worth it. NAS is pointless really. If you want a wireless cloud thing WD make 2TB wireless for like $140. Could u just take out the DVD drive and add a regular 1TB drive? Might be cheapest scenario.

    • cool sounds like sataIII if hitting that speed. a 1tb will get same speed so price point works.if u have usb 3.0 any regular HDD will cut it.deathboy
    • of course if u want to have fun look at the speeds of a intel 750 400 gb drive.... might make u want to build a pcdeathboy
