Or a Firewire drive with a TBolt to FW adaptor for the laptop.

FW is a bottle neck for a SSD drive though, I would rather have a TB 
drive.

You will be USING the photos a few at a time from the drive, not copying 
the entire collection.  So speed is not that big an issue.

I've had iPhoto libraries on external drives before, and internal 
mechanical drives as well, so I know that the speed of the drive is very 
important. My library is about 300GB large with more than 50k photos...

If speed is an issue, then iPhoto is the problem, not the drive.

BUt since I'm not looking for an alternative to iPhoto, I am looking to 
solve the problem using a speedy drive. :)
