Good idea.  I expect to do these in the middle of the night, but that's
still important if you're doing 30 or 40 gb.  I'll go out & see if there
are any reviews out there.

  Check the speed of the unit (throughput in actual use, not the speed
of the HDD, or the IDE interface, or the USB2 interface) before you make

much slower than one might expect.
