some experience: firstly, I have found that an external disk 
hooked up to a base station seems more likely to corrupt.

2) a lot of 'network out of the box' drives with ethernet 
connection are FAT-formatted. This had the peculiar effect in my 
case when I bought one that when I purchased something from 
iTunes, I could see it while downloading but then it got lost as 
it completed, meaning I had no download any more. Never got to 
the bottom of that but it was reliable.

I have ended up with a drive connected to an imac, which works 
but of course requires that the iMac be on all the time I want 
to use it. This turned out to be the least inconvenient though.

I'm sure others have been more successufl than me!
