All external USB 2.0 drives work with the Foxboro AW (Server 2003) to the best of my knowledge. My favorite is Lacie's 500MB external USB hard-drive with rugged design (orange rubber case), but I have used several others. I think the current version of this has no power supply, but comes with a second USB cable for additional USB power if you need it. I've never had any problems with just using the main USB cable for power. Not expensive.

My associates and I have been looking for one that works first, doesn't die second and keeps working. I have been on many sites looking at drives and the most consistent thing I can find is that there doesn't seem to be a reliable well thought of device out there. You got one that works I would really like to know what it is.
