- lots of capacity there at a nice price, but i prefer ext. USB bus-powered drives (i.e., no AC adapter required)...

- i'm still waiting for 32GB SDHC...

Nice drive regardless... just 3 weeks ago, I ended up picking up a drive with half that capacity for the same price.

One thing I wish would be standardized... some type of USB or IEEE1394-like interface that can provide real power (in the amp range.) Powered USB (www.poweredusb.org) would be perfect, if it gets off the ground.

Powered USB (www.poweredusb.org) would be perfect, if it gets off the ground.A 6-pin Firewire connection will provide the power needed to run an external drive. Just make sure you buy an external drive that uses a 6-pin firewire connection:
