    Wait for the new Intel/Apple optical cabled drives next year. It will put USB 3/Firewire 800 to shame.

    Seagate vs WD. Which is better? Is it a matter of preference or is there an actual difference in stability?

    @otko: I want to know this as well, because I'm looking to get a 1TB portable before the year is out, and I'll be keeping it for a few years

    Why would a larger drive be slower? I would think that packing the bits closer together would make it faster.

    @chaos215bar2000: it's about the platter spin speed, not the density of data. this is a 5400 rpm drive, which is common but slowish. many people prefer a 7200 rpm unit.

    I think, now that TBs are becoming more feasible as common storage space, we should refer to them as "tubs" like we refer to GBs as "gigs"

    @Argo117: but when somebody writes

    "whats the difference between tub and gig" into google, they may find themselves looking at a tub girl. And that would always be on my mind

    @giusepe: That's it! I don't care about anyone else, I'm calling them tits from now on. Then, next time I'm having a geek-chat with my husband, I can be all, "Cool, that [drive/laptop/tower] sounds interesting - how many tits has it got?"

    @Eruanno: Why? If anything a bit of E-SATA would be nice.

    @deanbmmv: I suppose it depends on what you're using. Price is in favor of eSATA, but if you're a Mac user, eSATA isn't easy to come by, unless you have an Express 3/4 slot to install your own port.

    Right now, the highest capacity for the 500GB triple interface OWC Mercury externals is $164 and $239 for 5,400 and 7,200 RPM respectively, and $119 and $189 for the USB 2.0 alone. I wonder how close Seagate's offering will weigh in on price with the 140GB gain in capacity.
