What type of external USB drives are people using ?

I have one set up with a couple of Lacie 250GB drives being swapped daily
but they are a bit brick-like.

Is anyone using laptop drives in an external caddy. These are almost as
small as REV disks anyway.

I'm trying to come to a concensus on backup devices. Does anybody have a
view on whether the iomega rev drive would be suitable for an sbs server
solution?

Can anybody suggest any other soild reliable products/configurations?

thanks

phil
