Experience With Freecom External Drive? Options

[tricky_vic]

Hi

I wonder if anyone owns the Freecom Hard Drive Pro USB 2 & FireWire? I'm looking for a 7200rpm external hard drive, Firewire. I only have 400 ports at the moment but 800 is good in case I upgrade my mac. This drive seems to tick all the right boxes, but it would be great to hear of some first-hand experiences regarding performance and noise.

Best solution is still either to stick for a known brand (like LaCie) to benefit of a warranty that works, or to build the drive yourself using enclosures and drives you choose (it's very simple: plug and screw in). I've only heard of freecoms thru articles and adverts so I can't be of much more help.
