    I'm looking to get an external hard drive to use for backup. There are a few things I'm looking to get:

    -1TB
    -7200 RPM
    -eSATA port

    I would like it to be 'portable' to some degree, as I'm going to be doing a few long trips in the next year, but it would be turned off during the travel and would be stationary once I arrive at my destination.

    For the money, this AcomData seems like a great deal. http://www.radioshack.com/sm-buy-th...sb-esata-external-hard-drive--pi-3024959.html
    Does anyone know anything about it? Have any other suggestions?

    Thanks so much for your thoughts!
