Big fan of the Western Digital RE editions havent failed me ever.

Sounds like he's after an external?

I'd probably go for a Samsung, they're quiet and run cool. Although the WD green drives are even quieter but run warmer.

It'd be more aesthetically pleasing to buy your own internal drive and put it in an enclosure such as this one that mimics a mac pro.

The WD RE editions are server spec' drives, aimed at RAID.

If it's external you're after, and for a Mac specifically..go for the WD My Book Pro.

I'm thinking of buying the new Freecom Mobile Drive Mg as a good portable solution for use with my MBP
