i always check the fryday paper for the fry's add. about once a month they put this one on sale for ~ $109

BUFFALO 500GB TURBO USB 2.0 EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE - HD-HS500U2

the sata's really do feel faster and i like the form factor of the buffalo too - stackable. plus if you keep getting the same kind of drive you get lots of extra power supplies instead of a different power supply for each vendor.
