LaCie External 500GB Hard Disk, Design by Neil...Strengths: American product, EXCELLENT US-based technical support, 2 year warranty, clean compact design, quiet, on/off switch. Weakness: None that I've found so far. I was attracted to LaCie because they're an American company, located here in Oregon. Their tech support is also here in Oregon, not outsourced to a foreign call center (at least as of this date). I compared this model (301302U) to LaCie's other 500GB external model (301285U).

LaCie Hard Disk External 500GB Hard Drive Design by...
Strengths: Very well designed and attractive. For Mac users, set up is virtually instantaneous, using Time Machine, after which, it pretty much takes care of itself. It can be partitioned, if you so choose.
Weakness: Don't know of any.
I bought the LaCie 500GB because, after much reading, it seemed to be the best choice for backing up my iMac. Installation and start up were a breeze - maybe 10 minutes.
