  Recommned bus powered travel drive

  Posted by Aaron Neitz on July 7, 2008 at 5:33 pm

  I need to pick up a little USB/FW bus powered drive. Any recommends? Just the odd times when you need to move a handful of GB from studio to studio.

  I was thinking the Seagate line…

  I’m a big fan of my g-tech mini’s.

  I like this as you can swap drives and give a mulitutde of input options for optimal speed depending on your compooper.

  Put the 2.5″ drive of your choice into a bus powered case like these:

  This has been my all time favorite portable drive for more than 5 years. That’s a long time loving one storage product!

  Ditto on the G-Minis. BTW, stay away from Seagate external drives. I have one that is not too stable.
