I have two LaCie external drives

daisy chained and connected to a FW 800 port; but the ones I have support FW 400, FW 800 and USB 2. They're not the cheapest; but seem totally reliable and look good. FW is generall faster than USB 2. LaCie come formatted for OS X; but you can, of course, reformat them for Windows. Not particularly portable; but I'm guessing, like me, you need the extra space for music, films, backup, etc.

        10 GB of free space is more than enough not to affect the performance (General Chat) - Ben, Nov 26, 18:36:31
