I got the Maxtor One Touch 300gb, firewire and USB2.0, 7200RPM, 16mb cache buffer.
It's very good. Bought it from here http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Maxtor.html.
The buffer on the lacie is only 2mb.

I've got the Western Digital 250Gb Dual Otion disk (WDXF2500JB) It works like a breeze over USB 2.0. (no problems with VDJ)

Subject has been discussed before. Most external drives work with most systems... You should however notice that some manufacturers doesn't hold any guarantee when using it for mobile purposes. Depending on specific products ofcourse.

I recommend staying away from the LaCie 500Gb drives. I know of three people that have had alot of file corruption problems with their 500Gb Lacie drives. LaCie won't admit to it but it is in their RAID 0 implementation. The 500Gb LaCie's are actually 2 250Gb drives.
