TimeMachine Ext HDD

[Neil Laubenthal]

I always recommend drives from OWC . . . www.macsales.com.
Buy their Mercury Elite Pro Aluminum line, get whichever interface set  
you like from the various combinations of USB2/FW400/FW800/eSata, and  
get the largest 7200 rpm Seagate Barracuda mechanism in it that you  
can afford. You'll pay a little more for a Barracuda; but the  
quality/reliability is worth it. The dual FW/USB2 model with a 750 GB  
Barracuda is $299.
