G-Tech G-Drive vs. OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro..

[mac000]

I need to buy a new external backup drive and have the 250GB G-Tech G-Drive and the 320GB OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro as two options. I'm going to be using the FW800 interface on my Macbook Pro.

I've read the G-Tech is noiseless since it works without a fan, but he OWC seems like the better deal since it has a 320GB 16mb buffer vs the 250GB 8mb buffer.

The only thing i'm sure about is the pricepoint for each, other than that I need some help with this decision.

Get the Mercury Elite Pro, they use Samsung Barracudas 7200.10 and are covered by a 2 year warranty (the unit) + 3 year warranty for the HD (total of 5 years).
