My downloaded music files are beginning to outstrip my internal hard drive capacities and I've been thinking of getting an external drive in the 1 TB range. Problem is, I don't know too much about external drives. For storing and accessing my music files I would appreciate your recommendations on capacity, interface and brand (relative to reliability). Thx!

esata>firewire800>USB2.0
other than that just get one from WD or Seagate thats on sale.
Actually....From what I've experienced with my external HD [via USB 2.0], you get more like 20mb/sec and maxes out at 28ish
This is my External HD
ok, but esata does 70+ mb/sec
All I'm saying is that you probably don't need to seek out a drive that has e-SATA. Fatcat's recommendation to go for Seagate or Western Digital on sale is spot on, as far as I'm concerned.
my thought was about transferring the 1TB of music to the external. USB2.0 would take like forever yanno.
