Man! I need another 1 TB drive for us. This iOmega one wants to crap out. If anyone sees any good deals on 1 TB ones, holler at me in my personal inbox. Thanks.

Actually, external drives are pretty inexpensive these days. You can buy a 1 terrabyte desktop external drive for about $90. And I just purchased a USB-powered 160gb Seagate portable hard drive for $50. And I have seen desktop external drives for as low as $40. So you really don't have to spend a lot.
