Recommend 250GB external FW/USB2 HDD?

[gonyr]

I was also looking for an external HD, and I came across this one:

Any opinions on the drive, enclosure, or tigerdirect.com?

I just purchased an external drive from OWC

I just purchased a 500G external hard drive from OWC (macsales.com). It has USB 2.0, and Firewire 400 & 800. The thing has a cool aluminum case that matches my PowerMac G5 perfectly. I suppose I could have built my own, but I really just wanted something that I could plug in and it would be ready to go. I've only had it for a week now, and I don't have any complaints. They seem to be pretty highly recommended by Macworld, and outperformed almost all the other hard drives they tested. They use Seagate and Hitachi drives in their external hard drives (mine is a Seagate Barracuda) The funny thing is, they accidentally shipped me a second drive a few days after I received the first one. I'm honest, so I contacted them and they want me to send it back, so no freebies.
