Hi Katie, I purchased the Western Digital Transport external hard drive. It's an 80 GB drive, and I bought it based on the positive comments from others on this list. I also have a 120 GB drive that is powered by AC and is in an enclosure. My plan is to back up my system, as well as individual files on both drives. The fact that this drive is USB powered and therefore requires no cabling is very appealing. I still will use flash cards, and probably SD cards for individual files, but wish to use these drives for major backups. As you may know, I have a jump drive, but it won't work with the BN, so rather than buying another jump drive, I decided to spring for this external hard drive instead. Best Regards,

I understand it's a hard drive, but what are the specifics? Please let us know how it works out for you... I'm looking into purchasing a hard drive myself, but just a bit concerned about their stability as compared to jump drives, CF and SD cards and everything. But, unfortunately, hard drives are the only devices with such a vast storage amount...
