my personal thoughts on usb2 hard drives is that they corrupt data 
transfer no matter how many times you do it.  probably not what you 
want, but i thought i would let you know my experience.  i would 
transfer mp3's or ogg files and it would take one song and give it 
twelve different song titles of a different album.  example, i wanted to 
play my collective soul album, song #3 'why part II'.  it ended up being 
divided into twelve different parts of the cranberries album 'zombie'.  
now picture 15 gigs of OGG files and this happens sporadically.
