  Hi
  
  
  
  Don't buy Iomega - they're crap!
  
  
  
  If you are just storing data try these:

  The Lacie - databank is nice and portable if you want to travel:

  However, spending a bit more on an iPod could be a solution and serve as dual purpose too.
  
  
  
  Hope this helps

  Errr... I don't think I'd use an iPod as backup. You can get a higher capacity firewire drive cheaper.

  I just got the LaCie d2 firewire drive- I love it! Its pretty small too- I got the 120gig for $159 at an apple store. You can get the 80 gig for like $139 I think. It has a 7200RPM drive. Its really cool- you should check it out. I've had good luck with their products. I also have their 52X cd-rw which works great!
