i'm looking to get an external firewire hard drive, something about 120 GB in size.

i've seen tons of different drives, that all look quite appealing, and i've also seen firewire "bridges" which connect to a standard 3.5" hard drive. these look quite appealing, as if i run out of space on the drive i can just plug in another 3.5" drive.

sad as it sounds, my deciding factor here is the cost. i'm on a very tight budget for this!

anybody got any suggestions/reccomendations for FW drives?

i'll probably be transferring a lot of video files between the drive, so i'd need something relatively fast.

thanks!

There's a few ideas.

Check to see if your local circuitcity/compusa have any deals on a bare drive and get an enclosure.

Althernatively, the drive I got for $150 (120Gb) is doing very nicely plugged into my powerbook.

Cheers,
