recommended portable hard drive

[roc1]

need to get one of these (with a FW800 connection) and wondered what people rate? there are some iomega and seagate ones that look good, only have about £70 to spend and storage either 320gb or 500gb would more than suffice.

thanks!

Why does it have to be firewire ?

Seagate for me.

I have 2, an old one and a newer Seagate FreeAgent Go 3200GB. Both have been bashed about nono but work fine.

Cheers.

never had an issue with my iomega, looks the same as the mac mini

roc is looking for Firewire not USB drives.

 

[roc1]

fw800 because of the speed as i'll be transferring large raw files

cheers!

I rate the LaCie Rugged ones with FW800, but might be over your budget.

lacie have been very hit and miss for us at work. cant offer you a recommendation otherwise, i only use USB2 and eSATA
