who makes a good, reliable external drive that wont fucking drive me insane with fan noise or 'delayed write failure' messages or corrupt files at the exact moment i need something?
firewire/usb2.. either way.

Not sure what you're using it for or how much storage you need but you can't go wrong with a
DataMax 4160. It's obviously not firewire or usb but if you spend a couple extra bucks and go the SCSI route you'll have speed and realiability that you'll never achieve with firewire or usb. I went with the 1TB raid 5 config with a 512MB cache and this thing is fast as hell! Plus with a raid 5 config if you ever loose a drive just replace it and the other 3 drives will rebuild the data lost on the bad drive! If you're data has any value whatsoever don't fuck around with anything less than raid 5 SCSI!
