Good External Hard Drive

I'm looking for an external hard drive below 300 dollars usb or firewire with at least 800 mps transfer rate and a capacity between 150 gb and 300 gb.



And also, should I buy this or wait for the 60 gb 6th gen ipod?

You're never going to find anything for $300 that's going to transfer at 800mps. I take it you're looking for an ext. that has firewire 800 though. However if you really need fast transfer rates then you're better off getting an array.

its cool I really don't need the 800 and by the way liberalism isn't a mental disorder.

Isn't the 5th Gen iPod the current one? Because it is different than the 4th Gen, by having the color screeeeeeeeen. Or are they making another one. 1st and 3rd Gen are still my fav.'s though. :black:

Sorry your right, everyone just doesn't count that second gen one because it looks just like the 1st gen

Their new 6th gen one will have a removeable battery and some new fangled scroll wheel. And hopefully play video.

i would recommend a LaCie brand external drive.. they are a good brand.. w/o searching for low prices (just as an idea for you), heres one that is 250 GB for 169.00

Western digital & Seagate drives are the only ones I have found that can hold up to the stresses of the road... But if it is just sitting on a desk Lacie drives are decent enough. I have had many Maxtors bite the dust.

Is LaCie a good drive?
