[QUOTE="wicker_man, post: 366617, member: 16283"] I brought one of those caddys but the build quality is not that good and it is very noisy. I have a Maxtor 200GB drive in it, but the drive is not very reliable either. I would reccomend getting a Western Digital, such as this: [url]http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/111982[/url] It would be worth spending a bit more on a quality drive, data is important. It has USB2, Firewire 400 AND 800 ports. Firewire 400 is faster than USB 2, especially for sustained transfer, but FW800 is very fast. My PowerBook G4 1.33GHz (15 inch) has USB2 ports (aswell as a Firewire 800), but I'm not sure about the 1.25GHz version. [/QUOTE]
