If i were you, i would go for the Lacie d2 Quadra 500GB. The d2 Quadras have F800, F400, eSata, and USB. They also allow you to daisy chain other F800 drives together, allowing your computer to see more than 1 drive through the same port. I own 2, a 500GB and 1TB, and both are running perfectly. Here's where i buy them from: Lacie d2 Quadra. They have some amazing deals on these drives there.
