only because so many people, including myself, seem to run into reliability problems). I have been told that the industry standard is either G-technology or Lacie (I am surprised with Lacie. In terms of docking stations, do you know if there are any that are really made for 'permanent use' vs a temporary solution? The My Book Duo looks like it might be a good choice seeing as. The My Book caught my eye at first, but I think that it might not be fast enough (5400 rpm?) for use while video editing (though, it would still be a great backup solution). So I am thinking that we are looking for a desktop solution, unless there are some benifits that mobile hdds provide for video editing in particular.
