I'm glad the Verbatim hard drives include a 1394b bilingual cable - I have some files in Spanish that I haven't been able to view.
I was wondering about that myself. Since it is only bilingual is there a list of part numbers for supported languages?
By the way I've had my Drobo for 2 months now and love it. Unless you need a small drive for portability don't waste your money on anything else. I have mine connected to my Airport extreme AND run Time Machine backups via WiFi! I have the Firewire version and use that connection for redundant SuperDuper back-ups on my MacBook Pro. It works great.
The prices of G-Technology's new SSD drives are a bad joke! Who needs this? Nobody! Not to mention that solid state devices are not necessarily the best choice in extreme environments--like high altitudes, for instance.

Are you sure? I've never heard that, but I've heard of hard drive camcorders not being suitable for skydiving because the drives aren't built for high altitude - which I've heard from someone that's experienced and seems to be prominent in skydive video recording.
It would seem that SSDs would be more suited to high altitudes than a conventional hard drive. There aren't any moving parts and there isn't an air-containing enclosure.
