I’m looking at external Hard-Drive for my electronic imaging class this semester. I need a firewire unit for playing video off of it, and I’m looking for something over 120GB. Anyways, my searches at Froogle have lead me to a LaCie D2 160GB with FW800/FW400/USB2. It’s $170 and I am wondering if any of you have suggestions for external drives, best prices you’ve seen, bad experiences with certain brands, etc. Thanks!
