Choosing an External Drive.

[Joshh1]

Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the correct forum to post in so bear with me. :🙄

I have a G4 cube and I'm looking for an External drive to back up everything from the cube and store media, Really want a firewire drive seeing as the Cube has USB 1.1.

Any suggestions? I don't need anything huge a 100gb or so would be great, looking to spend around $90 to $100


Thanks 🙂

Or 50% more storage... different form factor. OWC drives are excellent!

If you have any spare pata based hard drives I've noticed OWC (macsales.com) is starting to lower the price of enclosures those across the board.

I was never too keen on LaCie drives in the past, but I tried one of their newer 500gb Hard Discs recently (the one with the heatsink panels on the sides) and it really is excellent. Every possible connection, fast and as close to silent as I've encountered with an external. Top class fit and finish too, better than their previous drives and also better, in my opinion, than the good-looking G-Drive equivalent. That they've increased their warranty to THREE years on these suggests some added confidence in the drives on their part.
I now have four of them, one for Time Machine, two for my music and audio editing, and one for general use. Couldn't be more satisfied with them.

Thanks everyone.

I will look into a WD My Book, also the lacie drives. 🙂
