Hi,
I'm looking to add a 120GB Firewire drive to sit beside my 800Mhz G4 Flat Panel iMac; it's main purpose will be storage for video and render files to be used in Final Cut Pro. I'd just like to ask the opinions of Firewire drive owners to find which one is the best, as there are so many to choose from. Currently, I'm looking at OWC's 120GB Firewire drive, and the 120GB GVP Storage Products that Clubmac offers. The OWC costs a little bit more, but it looks a heck of a lot nicer. Anyhow, any input/exeriences/thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, get a Momobay 3.5" firewire case! Here in Germany you get it for 120� incl. sales tax (16%). It works with OS9 and X, looks good as it's an alu case and it comes with a carrying jacket.
Look on the <a href="http://www.dvico.com/products/momobaybx_1.asp" target="_blank">web page</a> .
Cheers, Thilo

The best combo I could find, and it really works well, is a $49 Case from OWC (its hard to find on their website, i think its being discontinued) with the oxford 911 chipset, and a 120 GXP 120 GB IBM hard drive that you can find through cnet for $135. The drive performs extraordinarily well.

There is no emoticon for what I am feeling!

My system specs:
2 furry caches
17" diaganol quad pumped weener
198 lb ham
44x36x57 CWR
overpriced, underperforming, but sleek nonetheless.
I also have a G4.

I'm sending this to peripherals.
We all use firewire HDs (or can), so it will be more helpful there.
