I received my 1TB external firewire drive today (wtf!). After a little bit of fun reformatting it (I had to read a manual and then go look at a knowledge base article. Dash it all, next they'll have us using the command line thingy ;-) everything seems to be working fine. 100GB backed up and available in Time Machine. It'll be interesting to see how it copes when there's a month or two's data backed up.
