Option #1: Buy a firewire drive case, for example, the Macally case through CompUSA website for $59. Then get the drive of your choice on sale. Advantage is that you can archive a bunch of stuff onto the drive, take the drive out and stick it in a drawer, and buy another HD and stick it in the case. Option #2: Buy a firewire drive at whatever price you can get. I don't know of any to avoid specifically. - Vard -------------------------------- Any recommendations on an external Firewire HD, or any that I should avoid? Somewhere around 60-120 GB. I'm using dual G4 1 Ghz. Thanks Jerry
