Do firewire external hard drives require external power supplies? - I'm under the impression that Firewire supplies more voltage (than USB) to the device.

Depends on the device in question, but Firewire does provide power. I have a 120GB drive that uses the power supplied by either Firewire or USB to work, and has the option of an external power adapter that I'm not doing. Works well. | |||
