Nora, Here is the brand I have switched to:
http://www.g-technology.com/products/products.cfm?interest=all At Apple they told me they were the "tank" of firewire drives. I have had troubles with their first generation units, but they have replaced them with the new models and not a problem, I have 7 of them, all 2 tb other than the small portable I carry with me. They are about a hundred higher than the one Tom sent you, but possibly you can find them cheaper than at the Apple store. They come formatted for Mac, so the Windows guys have to reformat them.
