External Hard Drives

[athene]

Ok Internets, I have a question for you.

For my capstone, I need to buy an external hard drive for my boss. The hard drive is going to be holding lots of high quality scanned images and possibly some video and audio files.

I'm thinking at least a 750GB if not at 1TB drive. USB connection or Firewire A connection a must (both would be better).

So, oh internets, what hard drive should I buy? Or at least what company should I go with/should avoid?

Thanks!

So far I've had good luck with OWC's Mercury drives. The ones that are currently available are in a new enclosure. They are essentially an internal drive in an enclosure but they come well rated for what that's worth. They also come with multiple modes of connectivity USB, Firewire 400/800, or eSATA depending on how much you want to spend.
