If I remember right SteelWolf was stationed in Iraq or still is and took along his DJ gear with him and posted a picture of it in the bedroom DJ thread in the small room he had for a living quarters.

Is true. I brought my lappy and my m-audio xsessions pro (could have brought my XPonent instead but I ws looking for small and uber portable, plus if the xsession gets fucked up, I'm out only 100 bucks, not 599.) As for the HD? Got to have some place to store all the music I download off of beatport and audiojelly over here, plus the scores of photos and videos we take.

I have had to Maxtors with no problems. First an 80gig... back when that was a lot. Now I have a 500gb that I paid $130 for maybe a year ago.

Honestly, unless your into movies, 1TB is a shit load of space.

What computer are you using these with?

My problem (I'm calling it a problem after reading numerous reviews on external drives) is that I have a couple seagate external hard drives that I've been using with a gateway laptop. I recently purchased a Macbook Pro and am hoping to transfer all of my music to an external hard drive that is compatible with the Macbook. In order to transfer my files, however, I will need to hook this drive up to my Gateway laptop that is operating Windows XP.

It looks as if the Seagate FreeAgent Pro doesn't work well with Macs, and it looks like the WD MyBook Pro Edition doesn't work well with Windows Operating programs.

I've spent so much time reading reviews on these things and every single one has reviews that make me hesitant to decide.

the OS shoudlnt matter, its just a usb port.. the only thing is OS X doesnt play well with NTFS which is a windows proprietary filesystem but that has been fixed with NTFS-3g and/or Paragon NTFS for OS X

Thanks for the info

The Mybook Essential edition seems to get fairly good reviews in comparison to others. I think I'm going to go with this one and hope for the best:

Yeah its a beast of an HD. Remember - lacie = POOPY, they use substandard parts.

I've got an "Acomdata" USB with 3.5" Seagate 7200 rpm inside, works fine for over 2 years for backups of music files, seems fast. No fan, cools OK with the aluminum case.

I use Windows which works best with NTFS, I could have used that but I left this external drive formatted as FAT32 so it's compatible with Mac in case I "switch".

i have a 160GB LaCie External and its crashed once...
and the power cable connection keeps breaking and i had to buy a new one recently.
also in the market for a 500GB HD.. not sure what to get right now.
