I have been looking into external USB hard drives, as well as USB CDr's and have a few questions. The USB hard drive that I found was made by lacie and was 20 gigs. You can check it out here -->

If one of you out there could check it out for me and tell me if its worth getting, I would be very thankful. Also, please keep in mind SCSI is not an option for me.

On the Burner front I have been hearing varied reviews of the Que! burner, if someone could fill me in on some details that would be great, thanks!

Do you have an iMac or B&W G3?

If it is an iMac then USB is your only shoice and I WOULD suggest LaCie, I have one of their SCSI CD-R's and it is excellent!

--If you have a B&W then Go for firewire USB is quite slow when it comes to things like CD Burning and External HDs but if it is your only option then I suppose LaCie USB is a good route.

I believe that the QUE drive is just another USB CD-RW, correct me if I am wrong -- I am not sure on that one.
