External Harddrive

[coachingguy]

I'm looking at picking up an External FW Harddrive for Backup to my iBook and BW G3. I'm looking for 120 - 160 Gigs and Price is more of a factor than speed. Any suggestions on Brands and/or retailers?

Thanks,

If you want to build your own external hard drive (usually cheaper) pick one of these (http://www.newegg.com/app/manufactory.asp?catalog=92&DEPA=0) enclosures, and one of these (http://www.newegg.com/app/manufact.asp?catalog=14&DEPA=0) hard drives, just make sure you choose and EIDE interface.

If you want to buy a hard drive, I'd highly recommend a LaCie (http://www.lacie.com/products/range.htm?id=10033) hard drive. I've got a 2.5" 10GB pocket drive, and I love it.

If you aren't to interested on building your own but want a solid drive in a decent looking case I would go to OWC (http://www.owcomputing.com). They use some decent looking enclosers and have some pretty reasonable prices. their customer support is fantastic as well if you happen to have any problems.
