Yesterday I was at the opening of the local "Apple Store" (very cool by the way), and I was amazed by the one storage device I saw. Sitting on the counter top, it looked a lot like a tiny brick of metal and one end had a door that flipped open and revealed USB and Firewire ports. It was a 20GB drive.
Personally for backups, I'm using a 200GB Firewire drive that I built. Though I'm going to be hooking a DLT2000 drive up to my OpenVMS server the next time I have it down (definite improvement over the TLZ06 4mm DAT it has).
