New I just ordered one of these.
http://www.amazon.co...K/ref=oss_product $79.

Haven't received it yet.

That plus about $60 for your favorite brand 1 TB drive seems to be hard to beat for a good looking, rugged, multi-interface external drive.

We'll see how it goes.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Re: I just ordered one of these.
I had a 500GB one on my 24 Imac and my time machine did not like it
would not backup all the time
Took it back and got the rugged
Hope it works for you let me know

New So far, it seems pretty good.
I installed a 1TB Samsung 7200 rpm drive, hooked up the power brick, hooked up the FW800 cable (included) to the MacMini Server, powered it up.

Made a single partition (GUID aka MacOS Extended).

It seems fine. TimeMachine sees it, but I haven't tried using it for backup yet (backups go on the 2nd internal drive.) It's been on about 3 minutes now. ;-) I'll report back if there are any issues.

Cheers,
Scott.
