External backup drives - Survey



I'm looking to price out 500 GB external USB drives for backing up 
standalone systems.  If the drives have fireware, etc connections, it'll 
simply be a nice touch.  I plan to get Retrospect for software, so I only 
care about drive reliability and company support should _anything_ go 
wrong with the drive.

I've had excellent mechanical success with both Seagate and Western 
Digital drives, and want to get list consensus as to which company has the 
better drive reliability record.  I plan to stay away from LaCie and 
Maxtor.

Thanks.

Scott
