Those are 2 good questions. Most current model external drives seem to be 1TB and up. Lacie models seem to be well-regarded and also look pretty.
Personally, I buy a bare drive and enclosures separately. It's a good way to get some decent features, ensure you get a quality drive, and keep the price down. The only difference from buying off the shelf is that you'll also have to format it, which isn't difficult. Newegg has a ton of options. As for tools for copying, I use Grsync. It's perfect for this use: you specify a source directory and a destination directory, and it takes care of the rest. It compares the source and destination, and only copies those files that don't exist in the destination folder. -- cooppw02 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cooppw02's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16712 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76953 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
