    i'm looking to get a new hard drive, primarily for video capturing, with the intention of fitting it into one of those firewire drive cases.

    anybody got any links to decent drives? preferably as fast as possible as they'll be for capturing...

    thanks!

    Can't recommend a particular drive, but I've had good experiences with www.dabs.com
    There's no place like 127.0.0.1

    I'd take a peek at the Maxtor personally, it's the one I'd always pick up from now on.
    I have a couple of D740X 80gb's which have been wonderful but remember the key factor with a drive set up just for capture; don't use it for anything else, no storage, nothing, and format it after each capture, a low-level format will be fine
    Personally I use ebuyer in Sheffield, they're great and are no hassle with returns.

    firewire drive normally very expensive
    A place that i use is www.ebuyer.com make sure you know what you want as the after sales service is abysmal, but the prices are good. They are also selling an ide to usb2 converter so you can take a normal internal drive and connect it with this plug to an usb port. Only £20 ish.
    I fancy making my own little wooden "coffin" for a hard drive!

    I would recommend you visit a local computer fair, especially as there is no vat on the price. So you can get a hard drive dirt cheap.
