Found myself a Porsche
Not the car unfortunately, just one of those Lacie external drives designed by Porsche:
Was just 3 euros, including the PSU.
The HD is 160 Gb, and working fine... not bad.

Nice find 
Would love a Jaguar myself, but they don't make hard drives...

huh. I didnt know those were made by porche. I had a whole stack of those things I worked on and got rid of. some with good drives, some with bad.
I have one of those too, FW400?
FireWire 400, yes, and they take IDE disks. They're pretty tidy, but they don't take the standard 2 amp, 12 volt power supplies.
LaCie made a "Porche-designed" CD/DVD burner as well (I have one + enough parts for another).
I generally like it, but with all the internal drives I have at my disposal, I don't really have much use for it.
Though they're always handy to keep around, just in case.
Anyway, that hard drive looks really nice. Kinda makes me want one....
