[opensuse] Firewire and linux?

I am getting ready to install suse 10.2 on my Dell xps 410. This machine has a bad physical architecture. If you add a second HD, it is likely you won't be able to use the last of only 3 PCI slots. Also, two HDs cause it to hum loudly. So, I thought I would take my second SATA drive and buy a SATA to firewire enclosure. I read the specs on several such enclosures and they all indicate that on windows you can connect to USB 2.0 of firewire, but on linux only connect to USB 2.0. Since I also read that firewire can be twice as fast as USB 2.0, I want to use firewire. Does anyone have such a hookup?
