Anyone have a preference? Cost versus performance?

I've got a LaCie and Seagate and they both seem fine but I'm gonna need a much bigger one for all this HD footage, not to mention render files.

Opinions would be helpful, thanks.
 
I put together one of these, very nice. . .

around 1terabyte for $800. . .

With a DIY system, you can always get larger drives in the future. ..

I bought the case for it here. .

which also has some nice Firewire cases - all you do is add the drive. .

like here. . .

which has external SATA which I belive is much faster than firewire. .. .
