I use a Firewire Lacie which has been excellent, if a little noisy.

I like the look of the Iomega MiniMax series too.

Decide how much you want to pay, what sort of capacity you're looking for then have a look on Amazon (or Dabs, or eBuyer etc) and read some of the reviews.

I have a Firewire Lacie as well. I just recently filled it 120G so I built a 160G with firewire/USB2.0 enclosure for $75 total.
