I want to buy a portable harddisk of 80 GB to store my pics, songs, software, etc.

Which is the best one which has firewire and all latest features and please quote the price (<4000)

Get a laptop HDD and get the chassis with FW connector. Dedicated external disk would be rather expensive.

WesternDigital hard disks are the best...I donno where do you live but in Hyderabad/Bangalore 80GB portable HDD (china made) comes in around 2500 bucks. Donno about Delhi/Mumbai market...I guess it shud be cheaper there.
