I need an external HD for my MacBook. Probably no larger than 1 TB,
since I'm leery of the larger capacity drives (they fall in my "too
good to be true" category).

I really want one with an on/off switch. Most of the externals I use
with my PC don't have switches, so I have to disconnect them manually. PITA.

Not sure if it needs to be Mac formatted drive -- if I can reformat
it from the MacBook, that would be okay. Could I do that if I bought
an NTFS drive?

A drive with both USB and FW connectors would be a plus.

In case the Mac OS is relevant, it's the version before Snow Leopard.
(I bought the upgrade to Snow Leopard but haven't had the nerve to install it.)

TIA,

Marlene
