Another vote for Maxtor here.
Me as well. Just got the Maxtor OneTouch 300GB Firewire/USB2 model
yesterday, plugged it into a spare Firewire jack on my PC last night and
was all ready to go in a couple minutes. (This is to augment the 250GB
model that I got last year. Man, those FLAC files take up space after a
while.)
They're so quiet you barely know they're there. I've had zero problems
with my 250GB model so getting another was a no-brainer.
Only thing to note: they come pre-formatted with a FAT32 file system. In
general NTFS is much preferable on an XP system, so you may want to do a
quick format before using it. (Nothing wrong with FAT32, just that NTFS
is more reliable and safer, of course assuming you're using XP rather
than Linux.)
