What do you use for external storage?

[rfrankl]

I have and like my Netgear wireless so I thought I would get the Netgear SC101 storage unit, but I see it only works with Windows. What do some of you guys use and how do you like it. Thanks!

I have a couple of Maxtor drives... one is Firewire-connected, and the other is network connected (i.e., it acts like its own computer on the network). They both work just fine.

2 Lacie d2 Extremes 250GB & 160 GB via FireWire 800. 2 years and works great.

I pulled a 40g Seagate out of my old PC, bought an enclosure, and reformatted it for OS X. It does what I need for now.

WD Mybook
...I got it very cheap on newegg.com and it works great!

 

[iKwick7]

1 Lacie D2 250 gig. I'll be getting another one soon, possibly a 500 gigger, since I am converting a ton of old VHS tapes onto my computer.

I have an old Maxtor OneTouch external with the metal and blue design. I think it's 120GB, it's USB though.

My girlfriend.

I sit her down at night and backup by telling her 1101001001001001100010101. Then, if my Mac crashes I just ask her to repeat back what she'd heard. It's not the most efficient, but it works for me.

I use a USB 120 Western Digital Passport. It works great.

Leopard will have a program called Time Machine which she will love!

There goes our bonding time...

 

[dllavaneras]

A 120 Gb maxtor drive.

I'd love to catch up with my dad, he's 20 Gb short of a Tb of storage!

 

[kretzy]

I have a 250Gb LaCie drive that I'm very happy with.

 

[Reflow]

400GB MyBook firewire drive and an old 60GB drive stolen from a Compaq laptop that I made into an external firewire drive

 

[Verto]

I just recently bought a 300GB Seagate drive, for ~170 bucks.

I'll second that.

3rded. Two LaCie d2s and a Maxtor

 

[crazycat]

With my laptop i have 2 160 lacie rugged mobil hard drives, one is used for backing up and the other for tv shows from itunes and ripped dvd's.

 

[paintballer]

I just store my stuff on my PC's 250GB HDD through my wireless network.

 

[thebeephaha]

Two Vantec Nexstar 3 eSATA/USB enclosures, one with a 320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 and one with a crap 250GB Maxtor DiamondMax (9 or 10, I forgot).

 

[sushi]

FW Drives (100x1, 120x4, 250x2) and IDE Drives (300x2).

The FW Drives I connect to all my Macs as needed to back up or access files.

The IDE drives I use to back my PM933 each week, or more often as needed, by creating a clone of the start up drive. I alternate between the drives and physically connect them when I do the back up.

 

[eluk]

Yet another LaCie d2 and various other discs on network.

 

[skunk]

I have a Mac Mini and a Micronet Minimate 500GB drive acting as network storage.

 

[rogersmj]

I use an old Pentium III computer as a server that has six hard drives in it totaling 1.5 TB (1,500 GB) of storage. I run Linux on that server, which allows me very fine control over the performance (which is fantastic; you don't need much horsepower for a personal file server), and which allows me to run a secure FTP server so I can access my files from anywhere in the world.
