I agree regarding the LaCie hard drives I have a one Tera byte LaCie Wave from I think 2008 or 2007 and have never had a problem. Even now I consider it one of the fastest externals I use. Not surprised Apple is selling there drives.

It is both USB and Firewire800, and can be used as an external boot drive. This model (2tb) is no longer made, but LaCie is good stuff, and Apple sells it in their stores. It's good to have a combo drive USB/Firewire, so you can use it as a boot drive if desired. For the Air, which has no firewire port, I bought a thunderbolt/firewire adaptor BTW: I have it partitioned into 4 partitions, one each as a boot partition for my iMac and MacbookAir, and two data partitions which I don't currently use.

I am finally getting around to getting a external hard drive as the last one I got wouldn't mount properly so I had to return it. I had gotten a seagate but with all the issues I had with it, I don't think I want to try and get another seagate. Can anyone suggest one they have had success with for the mac. I plan to use it as external storage for music and backups along with a partition for time machine.
