sambr1111

I need a good and reliable portable hard drive. I need at least 120 GB of space and it has to have USB 2.0 and FireWire 400 or 800 capability. I also need it to be able to work on Mac OS X and I don't want anything too cumbersome or anything that looks stupid. Oh, and, I want to be able to buy it in a store as well, preferably in a price range of $100-$200 0_o. Please help!!

I got a new Acer laptop and it only comes with 219gb and so far I have 191 left. I figure I'd put necesities on here, such as Microsoft Office programs, program files, etc. Over time I figure I'll take up alot of space but I don't know how quickly. What would be an economical, good sized portable hard drive to buy, and what brand? Thanks
