Seagate Technology 200 GB USB 2.0 and FireWire External Drive ( ST3200823A-RK )
A bit noisy when not in use, but does the job very well
We got this 200GB drive to help us with the additional task of backing up files between offices when we realized that our Seagate 160GB drive would not be enough to do both things: daily backups and data transfer between locations. Now this 200GB monster is sitting in one of the offices for our daily backups and the 160 GB (also a Seagate) is going back and forth and they are both holding up extremely well.<br /><br />The two only downsides to the 200GB drive:<br /><br />-It can be a bit noisy (I find it noticeably noisier than its 160GB counterpart), including the times when it's not in use.<br /><br />-It is not precisely compact in design. But having seeing how many overheating issues arise in limited spaces such as the insides of laptops, I am not sure having a roomy case is such a bad thing after all.<br /><br />All in all, I'd recommend this external drive for daily backups any day. I am sticking with Seagate!
