[G4] External Hard Drive Recommendations

[Jay Krauss]

I have two LaCie PocketDrives (20 Mb & 40 Mb). They have both Firewire (x2)
and USB (x1) ports. The Firewire ports do not require an external power
supply, while the USB one does (adapter included). Are probably a bit more
expensive than you want, but both have worked very well for several years in
both modes.
