Need reliable mobile external hard drive for iMac 24 intel and MacBook intel.

Suggested are G-Technology, LaCie, Western Digital, etc

Your opinions appreciated

This is not iMac specific, so I've moved it to consumer hardware.

Most will fit the bill. Depends on how big you need, speed, connection type, etc.. Heck, a hard drive ipod will do if speed isn't important. OWC has some nice external drives. I have one for my 24 inch iMac and works flawlessly. Do you need this for backup? or just to transfer files? If backup, would suggest a 750 or 1TB drive partitioned, half for each system.
