I was going to go with the Maxtor one until I saw the deal on the Buffalo ones, but the rebate thing is somewhat of an issue, and I'm not really sure how good/bad Buffalo is.
I searched the net for reviews on their hard drives (internal or external) but couldn't find anything...
anybody here have experiences with both of these have an opinion?
