Probably best portable drive
Reviewed by Dan. Review Posted 05/03/2010
I use a lot a various types of external hard drives in my job. These are the best i've come across, they have never given me a problem.
Most other portables don't offer firewire 800, which is pretty essential when editing HD on a MAC. I've used over 15 . I also don't know anyone who has had a problem with any of these drives, the 250, 320 or 500. That's rare in itself. It would be great if they'd bring out a 1gb version.
