I've been using a Maxtor OneTouch III Turbo 1.5TB via USB for a while. Under XP the system took a while until the drive was ready. Under Vista it mounts faster. I haven't tried it with a Mac. No complaints (pretty quiet), nothing special except that it's big - I just use it to archive backups. Oh, one thing - I don't think some XP disk utilities worked with a drive that size (diskcheck IIRC), but Vista seems to be OK.

Anyone have a favorite brand or model of this kind of drive ?

A good magazine article review ?

Besides terabyte, I am looking for FireWire 400 & USB 2 at a minimum,
external & reliable.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Phil
