Hello. I am running low on space on my computer and was in need for an external hard drive. Which brand and model is great in performance, size and price? I'm looking to spend no more than 100 dollars. Thanks!

I would advice you to purchase a Western Digital My Passport Studio, which is available in various hard drive capacity sizes. This hard drive will be pre-formatted for Mac OS X and supports not only USB, but also FireWire 400 and 800. You can format any hard drive yourself for Mac OS X, so that is not a requirement, it is only handy that it has been done for you. A hard drive which supports FireWire 800 however is great, as the transfer speed will be much higher than with USB or FireWire 400. Most external hard drives only support USB, which is slower than FireWire 800. The drive is also very portable and includes an indicator light showing you how full the hard drive is. Last but not least, the casing of the drive is non-shiny silver, just like the silver is on a MacBook Pro or Mac Mini for example. ;-)

I use a 2TB Western Digital My Book USB 2.0,
I've set up other My Books, 500GB & 1TB, for friends.
If you run the latest d2x cios versions (v8 final or v9 beta) they can support larger than 2TB. (Think support started in v6 but other things fixed in later versions)

Has a list of drives/enclosures that have been tested. WD and Seagate seem most popular for the larger drives. I use a couple of San Disk Cruzers for a single/couple of games, comes in handy for portability so I don't have to carry another power supply.
