Well, normally I recommend G-Raid drives, but Walter is having an issue with the 1TB model of the G-Raid 2 that he is trying to use with his Mac Pro:

But the 500GB model still seems solid, so get two.

I have two myself, and they are good for DV, HDV, DVCPRO HD, uncompressed 8-bit SD and even one stream of uncompressed 10-bit SD…but that would be pushing the limits.

G-RAID or LaCie both make excellent FW800 products. The G-RAID2 model Shane is talking about is giving me problems if there are any other FW800 devices connected, though running by itself it’s fine.

But I will say the older model G-RAID 500 and 800’s are faster than this latest model so I’m with Shane on saying go with an older model 500 or 800. Or go with a LaCie Big Disk Extreme which is a bit cheaper than the G-RAID’s. We have both here.
