[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 372649, member: 24160"] [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56063"]Here[/URL] is a link to a lot of research I did a month ago on externals. Am looking for storage specifically for video also. Takes me a long time to decide. Am still looking at and reading reviews. The 2nd post has the drives I found. As you get to the end, I am still torn between OWC and WD. OWC by the way does have RAID options. In my computer purchasing decisions over the years I tend to buy top of the line or as close to it as I can afford.
