I need an external hard drive. What do recommend, and how about these two?

I want a Lacie 160GB FW400, I can pick this one up at the store.

I would go with the Lacie drive. Why spend $50 extra dollars?? Plus you can get that Lacie hard drive for $139 at www.macmall.com . I purchased that Lacie 160GB drive back in June and its been terrific so far and yesterday I just ordered a Lacie 250GB external which should be here today.

Ok, so if I am going to order the Lacie here,

http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/...pno~267261.asp

Does it come with a firewire cable?

I have a cable, but it has a regular end, and a small end. Do you think this will work? Maybe a small to big adapter?

Thanks for the help.

Yes, the Lacie comes with the power adapter, firewire cable (1) and the hard drive.
