setting up Mac for audio - questions

[Louie Angulo <louie.angulo@googlemail.com>]

Hello people,
im going to be aupgrading from the dual core 21" imac to the 27" quad
core for audio recording purposes.
The thing i need to consider before buying is:
would it be better to get it with the 2TB HD than the 1TB?
would you then partition the 2TB in two and put all of your software
in one and your recordings into the second partition?
or would you just get a 1TB and get an external HD to store your files?
which one would you recommend or is faster, firewire or USB? could you
give me a link to professional reliable ones?
the Imacs only have one FW800 port in the back where i already have my
RME FW800 plugged in
that means i would need a FW hub to plug the external HD,which one
would you recomend  that have combinations of USBs and FW?
so far ive found this one :
