LaCie Rugged portable HD
#2
I've seen lots of people using them, but I've never seen the point myself. Hard drives can handle a pretty good shock when they are off and the heads are parked. I also can't stand the fact that the LaCie only has 1 FW800 port which means you can't loop through to another FW800 device.

I put my drives in Case Logic cases: http://www.caselogic.com/compact_portabl...elid=80400&productid=1028096 (which I got for under $10, I think). It's a hard shell case, but not really any padding. They also have cases with foam padding.

But that's just me, I'd much rather have the drive I want and put it in a case, if I needed to than have a drive with 1 FW800 port. But if you only need 1 FW800 port, than the LaCie may work for you. I also prefer to buy drives and enclosures separately. That way if the enclosure fails, you don't void the whole thing's warranty taking the drive out to get the data.
