I'm planning on buying a 500gb external hard drive for my mp3s..

found this:

I'm planning on buying the usb version: about 60 bucks cheaper than the firewire version.

Good deal or bad deal?

I would love to hear from you guys.

Hi there - I used to use one of these at work to run nightly backups. Me and my counterparts at other locations all had similar problems with these drives. Do a google search on Lacie + "Delayed write failed" and you will see we were not the only ones.

Since then we've switched to an I-Omega external drive & it hasn't failed once.

food for thought!
