all usb/firwire/whateevr are over priced crap .. and don't buy those populair network drives like mybook either. (mybook has funny software that decides for you what you're allowed to put on yoru drives and what not ... yeah right!)

best advice here.
and put in quality / enterprise drives, check warranty, at least 3 year, try for 5 year warranty drive. that shows the manufacturer knows there good.
I do use usb boxes with 3-5 year drives for my clients backups, but not for live data.
also, vanatec makes an ide case with rubber mounts for drive, i'm still waiting for the sata ver.
