Hello to all here at the forum. This is my first official post here, but I've had my mac for about a year now. My financial aid/loan will be coming in later this month. My first upgrade will be RAM from 512 to 2 gigs, next will be an external HD. I have been looking at LaCie, G-Drive, Mercury Elite, and Western Digital (all either 180 - 200 gigs). I prefer firewire to usb. Plus I will be toting it back and forth from school to the house so portability and durability will be an issue in my purchase.

My question is which would be good for the PB running photoshopCS(heavy) and some other iLife apps? Any and all info/experiences from all would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Be alert; the world needs more lerts.

The Peripherals forum has many threads on this subject. The PowerBook forum is only for discussing PowerBook-specific topics.
