I like the NewerTech miniStack v3 drives. They have one eSATA, two FireWire 800, one FireWire 400, one USB 2.0 up-link port and three USB 2.0 ports PLUS FW800/FW400/USB 2.0 connection cables included. With the iMacs having too few USB ports this drive really comes in handy. I have three iPod cables hanging off mine.
Other pluses I like.
* Smart interactive cooling system with thermal probe automatically regulating fan speed
* Massive passive heat sink to radiate heat away from hard drive
* Smart power switch - will power up and down in tandem with your computer
* Kensington Security Slot designed to allow the to be anchored to a desk (great for college dorms)

What does this have to do with Google Docs security?

I bet you clicked reply THEN logged in, didn't you? That ridiculousness happens to me all the time on the Macworld forum. Click reply, then log in, then you end up on a different article than where you started.

Surely this goes with yesterday's article about external HDDs. How it got here is anyone's guess. I also wondered why they dindn't mention the stacks. :)
