[MacDV] Re: Hard drives

[Ann Billups]

The full sized ones I have (three of them) are all firewire only (no 
usb ports) all bought over the space of a year for between $59 and 
$69.The case is silver and pretty cheesy looking, but does the job just 
fine. I don't remember the brand and of course threw the boxes away.

  I don't remember what the portable one was and the user manual (which 
I kept) just says 1394 external drive. I think it cost $69, but that 
was probably two years ago. It also seems pretty flimsy, but I have a 
padded case it fits in and it was a great size for quick file saves and 
transfers.
