That is the one I'm looking at.. Good capacity, FireWire, and designed by Porsche :-)

I actually ended up ordering the 500GB version of that, from Best Buy.

I get all of my externals from newegg. Just order the raw drive and an external case and you're ready to go.
Btw- if you have that much info on a single drive, I would highly recommend that you buy another drive so that you can have a 2nd copy.

Hope you did your research on LaCie's. The failure rate is less than attractive. Mine seem to be having a few issues so I'm going with this one . It has a 16 MB Cache which is better than LaCies a 3 year warranty ect. http://www.westerndigital.com/en/pro...sp?DriveID=242 Of course the price is better on Amazon.

sometimes, at fry's electronics, they have great deals on external seagates. $150 for a 400 gb with 16 mb cache once, and $250 for a 500 gb

I own 9 external HDDs including Seagate and WD.
By far WD ones stands above the crowd both in design and functionality. I love my 500 GB myBook and also 160GB portable one that draws power from my laptop. |

Picked up a 320gb MyBook Premium about a month ago...works seamlessly. I couldn't be happier.
