    I am currently in the market for a extrnal hard drive. I’d like to know if anyone has a beat on anything other than the Lacie 500 gig external HD? A friend who uses this particular external hd said he was having problems with his ie. crashes. I can (at the moment) afford more than a firewire ExtHD. But I won’t be editing with anything more than DV and miniDV for the time being.

    The G-Tech G-Raid has gotten pretty good reviews. There’s a G-Tech forum here on the COW.

    I have had no problems with the LaCie D2 line as long as you go no larger than 250 Gg. I’ve used them on my G5 and a G4 powerbook with DVCAM projects editing with FCP. I always connect via FW 800 and although I have daisy chained multiple drives, I do not RAID them together.
