Help- Iomega external hard driveI'm looking for an external hardrive to store photos and general backup for my pre-Intel G5 iMac. I'm considering the "Iomega 500GB Triple InterfaceProfessional Silver Series Desktop Hard Drive".

I'm not very savvy about this stuff so any information regarding compatibility and reliability is most welcome.
I'm hoping to stay under $200 (I've seen the Iomega for about $175).
Is there a different hard drive I should be looking at?
Thanks,
Gary

There's a ton of them out there. I would suggest sticking with one that has a Firewire interface option. Just about any external hard drive should work, it doesn't need to specifically say "Mac compatible". Personally, I like Seagate products because they have a 5-year warranty, which says a lot about the confidence they have in their product. I don't think any other manufacturer has such a nice warranty.
Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
