ClubMac offers their brand case (which is a Western Digital HD) external
at 7200rpm -- 80gig for $219. They offer a one year warranty with it.
Anyone have experience with Western Digital or any of the other non-top
line brands? They also have a LaCie 80gig, 7200 for $239. Anyone familiar
with LaCie products? Would I be better served to spend the extra cash for
the IBM?

Yes, it's an internal, and runs at the higher speed (over the 4200rpm
40gig) of 5400rpm.
Appreciate any further guidance and input. Thanks, Tivo
