Re: Is an external Hard Drive a good solution?

[Gary Adams]

Well, I just put a 60gb Travelstar in my Pismo for that reason--except 
I just carry mine to work, but I have a couple of external firewire 
drives that I use for backing up stuff. They are the leftovers from 
previous upgrades, installed in 2.5" combo drive cases. It's very handy 
when I want to move data to my clamshell iBook, too. I have no 
experience with PocketDrives. A guy had some for sale on the iBook list 
earlier in the month, though. He said they were very reliable (of 
course), but that he needed more space.

I have a Pismo for home and travel and a G4 desktop at my office. I am
thinking about getting a portable external firewire drive, 40, 60, or 
80
GB, mainly for backing up my important files and also for moving data
between the 2 computers. CDs don't have enough capacity aand I don't
want to do the DVD thing either. I'm considering LaCie PocketDrives,
Maxtor, Iomega and Que (?). Can anyone offer experiences or pros/cons 
to
these drives? Keep in mind that I want a drive that is portable.
