Seagate FreeAgent ST901603FGA1E1-RK (160 GB)

Pros: ease of use, cost, size

Cons: uses 2 usb ports, no firewire, short cord

Pros: 5 year warranty, orange lighting, solid performance

Cons: Some minor problems with Vista, Limited applications for the included Ceedo software

Pros: Attractive case, good price if on sale

Cons: Gave up on quality after both original and replacement died
