I have used Lacie drives for years with good results. However thay have a terrible reputation for frequent failures. Just hasn't happened to me. These are the drives I carry with me to clients and an constantly using them with different computers. More recently I have used enclosures from Macally. Not as durable as the Lacie drives, but they do the job and are lots cheaper.

Betty: It is not about buying the cheapest, its is about not spending more than necessary to get the job done.

I agree. You can get excellent quality goods inexpensively, or you can get cheap junk cheap. You can also pay a lot for a bad product. It involves a bit of work to find the best quality you can afford at the best price. It's also important to use the right tool for the job.
