Being based in the UK I don't know US pricing (probably $1 = ?1 :-( )
but I have two Maxtor 250 gig drives that I've been pleased wit so far.
Firewire and USB2, plus they come with a version of the Retrospect back
up utility.

Hello LUGers,

I need to extend my computer hard disk
backup capacity; the last external disk
I bought was the Maxtor One 120G,
and I think it does the job adequately.  
What is the current popular units that 
I should consider ?   What;s the capacity 
sweet spot for best Gbyte/dollar ?  I prefer 
USB 2.0 units as  that's the interface I use 
today, but am open to any reasoned suggestions.

Thanks all in advance,

- Phong
