I mentioned I'd like one of the portable models, probably in firewire, so not requiring an external power source would be a big plus. My current HD is my MBP is 160 gigs, though it's only about 1/3 full, but I'd like the extra capacity if I start working with video (which I'd like to at some point) From other places I've asked, Firewire seems to be preferred. Faster, and doesn't take up a USB slot. Price, doesn't really matter too much, I haven't seen any drives that seem rediculously overpriced yet.
