I have a Buffalo 2TB at the house but I need an external for my laptop when I am out and about. I want to use it to offload video from my camera(32gigs at a time). Anyone recommend something? I probably need a 500gig or a 1tb small and not needing external power. Would it have to be USB or do they have firewire that do not need external power?

flixmaster, Not really sure what to suggest but I'd try to stay away from Toshiba. Apparently I got a really good deal for a reason... Mine still works (after a year and a half) but there are constant errors and recoveries needed. I don't keep anything on it that I'm worried about loosing forever, haha.
