In looking for "better than the cheapest but not paying through the nose" external hard-drives I found these G-Drives. Pro photographer Chase Jarvis gushes all over them but I bet they sent him quite a few freebies.... check the page/video for his back-up strategy:

And obviously they're Hitachi drives... http://g-technology.com/ in an Apple-inspired case.
Worth spending a few bucks more?
As an aside, damn, that guy does nice pictures but not anything that's significantly better than a lot of other togs... it really shows you how having a "can-do", smart, positive attitude is what really makes the difference in being successful as a pro photographer.
