  I've had excellent results with both La Cie and Maxtor triple- 
interface external drives. I don't know what manufacturer's drives  
are inside them. They do FW 400, FW 800 and USB 2.  I have several in  
various sizes, 250G, 300G, 500G and none have ever failed.  I did  
have one older La Cie 250G drive fail after four years - it was from  
around 1999 or 2000 when the face plate was blue.  I have three more  
of those old ones still running now and they're working OK.
