Re: Back up

Just had a quick look on Which?. For mains powered external drives they rate Seagate FreeAgent 500g at £110, or the Western Digital MyBook Pro 500g at £125. The Western Digital has Firewire too so it transfers data quicker. Prices shown are their target price and can often be beaten.

However, both of these are at about the same price bracket as the LaCie, so maybe not much help. I think the LaCie will be the most compact, but I find the connections on the front panel are a pain as the trailing wires get in the way.
