I agree seagate is the best of the non scsi realm, 5 year warranty is 2
years longer than any other brand.
I picked up a 200GB SATA for $100 from tigerdirect
they've got this deal right now
300GB ATA $129 after $50 rebate

If you're worried about the drive being too big a 160GB is $100

If price isn't too much of a concern drop by Fry's I think they have
Seagate external drives at a reasonable cost.

One more today...
I am looking into getting an external hard disk for backing up my system
(simple stuff with rsync).
From what I have heard it is possible to get a better (i.e. higher
quality) setup by purchasing the drive and enclosure separately. I have
found a couple nice firewire/USB2 enclosures, and was wondering if
anyone has any suggestions on 3.5 inch hard disks. I am mainly
interested in warranty, so anything over 3 years would be ideal, but of
course that may not be possible anymore. Also, I would rather have a
more reliable drive than more storage space- so would it make sense to
purchase a smaller drive thinking that a lower data density will lead to
better reliability?
any suggestions would be helpful!
