I have no experiance in purchasing hard drives. I want a 250 GB hard drive that won't overheat/crash on me.

Thanks

You want a LaCie. 250 gig... I've got 2 of them and they're great. And apparently they use server type HDs. I've had no problems with them... they get a bit hot, but I do leave them on all the time. And they seem pretty solid too. I've taken one of them around with me quite a bit, and apart from losing a rubber foot, its been fine. And I think the price is pretty good too.

Check out this link on ebuyer. I think ebuyer is UK only, so you might wanna look elsewhere, but at least it'll show you some details.

Oh and as far as the 'what the pros use' angle goes, since buying my lacies, I've read more than one article where someone is saying something like 'so we bounced the tracks onto the LaCie and took it over to the studio in New York'.

EDIT: you should read the reviews on that site I linked you to... they're written by people who are obviously much better at going on about products than I am. I think.
