maxtor external HD

I'm looking at picking up a Maxtor 80GB external USB 2 HD for backing up my song files. Its 7200 RPM, so you know. Does anyone know of any stabilty issues with these or other similar external drives?

Need an external DA converter? Suggestions welcome!

Hi everybody, I'm new on this forum.
I just have a little question:
My mixer's analog outputs (Yamaha DM1000) are connected to a pair of Mackie monitors.
Considering the quality of DM 1000 built in converters (which shouldn't be bad), how much I would benefit if I buy an external dac, like the Benchmark DAC1 or Apogee Rosetta 200 for monitoring?

I've got an ibook and a 120 gb external harddrive that I connect via firewire. I ws running a Pro Tools session and something went wrong and I had to shut down the computer (without ejecting the hard drive properly first). When I rebooted I got a message that said the OS could not read any files on the harddrive. I went into disk utilites but I couldn't verify or repair the disc.
