Any recommendations for an 80gig or larger external firewire hard drive?

I believe I once read a good review of a Western Digital external hard drive but I can't remember where.

Anyone know where I can find some reviews of external harddrives?

MacWorld had an article in the May (or June issue). Some of the desk model drives they rated high were LaCie Studio Drive, EZ Quest Cobra, 1st Box Clever Ice Warrior (5400 & 7200rpm). Also indicates which drive manufacturer is used... some don't tell. they rated the pocket disks as well. costs seem to be $230/$240 range.
