WD or Seagate are my preferred choices, LaCie are rubbish. Get one of each and back up to both, belt and braces style !!!

What are people using/loving for external hard drive for Macs? I want an external hard drive that I will connect to a Mac Mini. I'll be using it for Time Machine backups from multiple Macbooks, etc. Any particular brands or models of external hard drives that you'd recommend?
