I am looking for an external FW800 drive.
I have purchased two drives and trying to decide which one to keep.
1. G Drive Mini 500 GB 7200 RPM. It's brand new so I'm not going to open it unless I keep it. Performance would be faster, but it's a little bulkier.
2. WD 640GB Scorpio Blue in an AcomData Tango Pro enclosure. Benefits for this one are the larger size and I think this enclosure takes 12.5 mm drives so I could upgrade to 1TB at some point.
Both options have USB and FW800.
I'm looking for reliability, performance, and future re-use of the enclosure.
