I just picked up a Maxotr - One Touch 300GB external drive at my local best buy for $150. It supports Firewire and USB2. I thought that was a pretty good deal.

The case appears very solid and it's super quiet.

My 2 smaller drives 120 & 150 are full of backups. My hot little P4 lappy has been worrying me lately.

Just thought I would let anyone else know who might be in need of new external storage .
