You can generally find dual interface USB/Firewire drives in plus 200 GB capacity for $150.
Stay away from those Western Digital "Book" drives. I have had trouble with them as well as other people I know.

Ok, thanks for the tip about the WD book drives - I was just looking at them this morning. I can get anywhere between 250 and 320GB for under $200, which is amazing.
If I format FAT32 on WinXP, then hook it up to the Mac, it'll read/write ok? Or should I format it on the Mac?
What about then pluggin it into WinXP after everything's been dumped from the Mac? Will Windows read it ok?
Thanks again!
