    Narrowing down my choices

    Anyone got something good or bad to say about the miniG F400?
    Also checking out the OWC – Mercury Elite AL Pro 7.
    Any opinions on the Iomega Black Series HD’s?
    Any advice, reviews, or good-deals knowledge on these would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Kirk

    For editing video I only recommend G-RAID and LaCie for FW400 / FW800 drives.

    I’m just piggy backing on Walter’s post.

    I’ve been very happy with the two G-Raid 500 disks I own. I also own three LaCie Big Disk Extremes that have given me no issues.

    For laptop editing on planes I use a SmartDisk FireLite 80GB FW 800 drive. I don’t capture to it, but for taking a part of a project with me on the road it works well. I’ve been able to work with DVCPRO HD using this drive, but I mostly use it for DV.
