I won't be back until next Tuesday, so if Get Carter is the correct answer, I would appreciate of someone else posts a new cap for me

I'd go for a western digital..... regarding your Q above
The Essential Edition drive has only a USB 2.0 connection (the Premium Edition can also connect via FireWire)
which basically means faster connectivity but as far as I know, real world difference between USB 2.0 + Firewire isnt a wholel lot (yea you'll find technical data showing the difference but it wont be drastic in day to day use)

^^^ you bet. the true killer for me is my DV movies. Any digital video eats up your space like a damn virus. It is much easier for me to back everything up on seagate insteand of DVD. I will probably wait 1/2 year and either go blu-ray or HD-DVD for a more physical backup.
I just picked up one of the 250GB Western Digitals. In the picture, it looks like you can link several together. Is this a possibility? Or would each have to be plugged into the computer separately?
It's never too late to become the person you always thought you would be.
I am not sure if you can do that with WD. I had terrible issue with WD. So I am sorry I am not a fan. If you are referring to daisy chaining ... I have not tried with seagate, and probably something I would not even recommend. Microsoft is terrible with drivers, and there is a good chance that your USB/FIREWIRE port is going to be hosed by endless amount of redundant checks. I would keep it simple and just hot swap the one you need. It actually does not take a lot of time. I generally would not even recommend using it as a drive because of the external factor. It would suck to have crash of 500 gigs. (knocks on wood)
I don't think you can daisy-chain them together and access each drive. Wouldn't one of the RAID setups do the same thing and probably better?

Oh. My. God. James absolutely obliterated the island tonight. The last time there was so much destruction, Obi Wan Kenobi had to take a seat on the Falcon after the Death Star said "hi and bye" to Leia's homeworld.
I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.
