Opinions On Western Digital External Hard Drive

[FuNkY CaPrIcOrN]

I really do appreciate the help guys...with the links and what have ya..and yes I have looked at all of them.

But I really do not want something too big right now.Just something to play around with and see if I like(I know $100 is not to play around with) but it is not too much either for what I will get out of it I am sure.

Go for a firewire drive; it's worth the extra money. I read a lot of complaints about USB drives and how a USB 2.0 bus speed will still only be as fast as your slowest peripheral. Search on google for "USB vs. Firewire", I found a review somewhere that had some good facts. USB 2.0 is fast theoretically, but it will never reach a speed faster than firewire according to the review. Firewire is good for close networking too, unless you have a gigabit LAN.
