Gigabit ethernet is already present, so no adapter needed. But I still have some doubts about the actual speed. 100 Mbit ethernet has never been capable of giving as much as speed as advertised, in my experience.

Another possibility is using a network harddrive with gigabit ethernet connection (1000Mbps). The advantage is that 1) the M3438 already has gigabit ethernet so no adapter is needed and 2) it will be easier to connect other computers...

More to the point, which one would transfer data faster to and from my laptop? (I'm not talking about a LAN, it's just my laptop and one drive). 1) an external hard drive with Firewire 800 connection 2) an external network hard drive...

It's built by ODM, dunno which. Am I the only one who thinks that 1024 pxiels wide is enough to fill 12 inches with? The upcoming widescreen iBook (with Intel Core, so it will run Windows) will certainly be cheaper, though perhaps...

The difference in speed seems to be negligible. The drive OTOH...40 gb is awfully small, no recommended if you're planning to store video in any capacity or for any purpose.
