    I'm under the impression that Iomega is expensive

    i would look at the WD elements series (cheap and brand name)

    or if u wanna take a small chance that u might get a bad drive, Acomdata

    or make your own -- choose your own hdd and get an enclosure

    Well, yeah you may as well. Here's a 160 gig WD from Dell for only $16 more. WD Passport. I got the same one but, a 120 gig and it's pretty slick.
