I bought the Iomega Mini Max 1 TB. (http://tinyurl.com/y9bu55v)

I like the fact it is the same size as my Mac Mini. However, it only has Firewire 400 (while my Mac Mini has FW800) and so I used USB2.0 anyway. I don't think it sleep automatically too (that means, when I switch off my Mac or when my Mac goes to sleep, it seemed to be still awake... perhaps I am missing something here...).

I used it for Time Machine backup as well as a backup storage space for my music.

I like its looks :)
