I was in the same situation not that long ago.

I had a Lacie but it started making really weird noises after about a years use so I figured it was time for a new one.

I ended up getting a Western Digital 1.5TB with Firewire 800. I can't remember what it's called, but it has (2) 750gb drives in it, and so I set it up as a RAID which backs up the hard drive to both exterior HD's for even more security. It might be overkill, but I've had bad shit happen before, and buy.com had a hell of a deal on them. From the factory its setup for more capacity (1.5tb) but I really don't need that much space.

Working well so far after a couple months. Much quieter than the Lacie and backs up fast with the F800 connection.
