That's only really needed when you work with heavy file tranfers like film.

I use Lacie external hd's and I find them the best. Very stable and your files won't easly be corrupted. You can get them with up to 2GB storage capacity, but are quite expensive.

for more info check: http://www.lacie.com

i think you mean 2TB (terabytes?).
