I have owned a bunch of them and they are all usually good. The one exception
was one by AccomData. I put my entire itunes collection on it, and then it
crashed hard - two weeks old. then they sent me a knew one, and it fails Apple's
Disk Utility procedures over and over. So I have a $100 paperweight. But most
of the other ones are fine. In the Los Angeles area I check the sales for
Fry's Electronics or Costco and pick them up cheap. I saw 500gb/fw for $169 at
Costco recently.
