will be a 500GB Samsung 2.5'' notebook drive:
new Samsung Spinpoint 2.5 drive
You can get one for less than $200 + a Macally Firewire enclosure and you have an excellent external drive.

Some of the newer LaCie external HDDs have no fans so they're quiet but not silent. Still less noisy than older units that have a small fan inside. I'm actually using the Firewire interface. I had the older HDD on USB. This LaCie unit uses a 7200rpm disk which is pretty much standard these days. I suspect a slower 5400rpm disk would be a little quieter but this unit isn't bad.
* All-in-one external drive with 500 GB capacity and quadruple interface for full Mac and PC compatibility
* Includes eSATA 3 Gbit port; 2 FireWire 800 ports (9-pin); FireWire 400 port (6-pin); USB 2.0 port; and cables for each connection
* Fanless ridged design by Neil Poulton for cool, quiet operation
* 7200 rpm spin speed and 16 MB caches; ideal of demanding multi-media applications
* Measures 1.7x6.3x6.8 inches (WxHxD); weighs 3.31 pounds; 3-year limited warranty
That is very inticing, I have a WD 500 gig "My Book", it is quiet, at least to my ears.

for my friend.....
She doesn't need 1TB or anywhere near it, and I found that Apple Time Capsule sucks....
So, it's either a Lacie or a Western Digital or a Drobo....
Thanks again,
Cheers,
