Thank you Steve for prompt reply.

Ok, So I need to search the drive which should have 2 firewire port.

Actually, On ebay most of the items are not available to ship to outside US, that is why i have to search any model which should be available in INIDA.

Thanks once again !!

Regards,
Jagjeet Singh
