So now that I've accepted the dead drive (IBM "DeathStar" series...be assured that I will never buy an IBM or Hitachi again), what are your suggestions for a replacement?

I have the ATA/IDE to FireWire interface card and the external drive case...can I reuse the interface card with another drive? What drive do you recommend? I want something in the range of 80-120GB.

I've heard excellent reviews of Maxtor, Seagate, and Samsung. What's your take? Thanks for your help through my digital disaster :-)
