Who needs/has 40 gigs of mp3s?

Can this just be used as an external firewire hard drive?

Wow. I have a 5GB model that serves me just fine. 600 songs on it, and I still have 1.2GB free. I have no clue what I would do with one with that much storage.

This would be impressive if you didn't state the bitrate. 50 gigs is alot at 128/168 or even 192. But at 320, that's half as impressive.

Is a firewire card required? Does the ipod work with USB 1.0 or 2.0, if so, how well?
