Classic Question: Which Hard Drive ? Options

[camarao]

Hi

I have a Powerbook with an external Lacie firewire hard drive which is kind of noisy. I would like to buy another firewire external hard drive for working everyday with the Powerbook and use the Lacie for backups only. I would need a silent one, with more or less 200gb and it has to be tough since I will take it in my live concerts and dj-sets.
I thought about the Carillon Ad1+ but I´m not sure...Are there any alternatives ?

Thank you,

Alex

I'm going to make my little enquiry to see if it's one, Thomann is not cheap regarding drives…

In Portugal, you have chip7 who sells this enclosure (no fan, metal, the only drawback is the blue led, if you use the drive in the dark don't have it in front of you or cover the LED!) and these drives (most are manufacturer unknown… be wary, ask!).

I'll come back with a pricing for the pleiade+seagate from another source. Note the Pleiades (I've got 5 of them…) has blue led inside (behind the little holes, so the same warning on the LED applies
