Can anybody point me towards a super-fast external self-powered hard drive? Min.128Mb, price no issue!

Thanks!

What exactly do you mean by self powered? All HDD under 1 TB use power from the USB port itself.

@anirbandd : SSD stands for a Solid State Drive - a Flash-based HIGH SPEED (6 GBps) device which bridges the bottleneck caused by the mechanical drives.
