Go hard and back up. Or something to that effect.

Some external hard drive options.
I recommend FireWire but you may prefer (ewww) USB 2.0
Avoid the tiny ultra-portable ones unless you actually need them to be... tiny and ultra-portable. They're much more expensive. You could consider the iPod to be in this category.

Western Digital External HDs

WD makes this weird thing they call the Media Center which appears to be a combination of a 250GB hard drive, a flash card reader, and a USB hub.

My current external HD is a 30GB WD Firewire drive. Has worked well for me on Mac and PC.

LaCie makes shiny external hard drives including the remarkable 1 Terabyte Bigger Disk.

NCIX.com sells the Bigger Disk for C$1668.

Of course you can also always get an enclosure and build your own. posted by Richard at 18:30 / permalink (post) | permalink (numeric)
