    first drive I had was a 250bg lacie porche, died on me (after being dropped on concrete though, tbh)

    second was a firewire maxtor, has been fine despite maxtor being crap, but then again I almost never move it.

    third is a wb 500gb, was for all my music and movies, but it's full so I just got a 1tb mybook for movies. It is fine so far but seems to take years to mount (because of size?) and playback from the drive stuffs up sometimes. I might need to get a faster drive with fw for better playback.. not sure if that's the problem or if my mini just sint powerful enough.

    • Does it take a long time for the drive to mount or does it go to sleep and take time to spin-up?
