EHD - USB & Firewire

[Guest]

Looking to buy an external HD that's both USB 2.0 & Firewire.
Want something in the 60-80 GB range and under $200.
Having trouble finding a brand name one with those specs.
Would appreciate any positive suggestions from people with EHDs having those
features, regardless of brand.

Thanks.

A Western Digital 80GByte drive can be had for about $80 and enclosures with
both interfaces are around $70.

Should be possible to build one with a 120G drive for $200.
