Some company I've never heard of:
http://www.iomagic.com/

My mom bought this for me as a gift, so I'm just
grateful that she really bought an external drive with
a large storage capacity.

These are the specs they provide on their website for
the drive I have:

Average Access  	Read 8ms
Write 9ms
Average Seek Time 	8ms
Buffer 	8mb
Compatibility 	Windows XP/2000/ME
Data Transfer Rate 	480MB/sec USB 2.0
Hard Drive Capacity 	320GB
Hard Drive Interface 	Ultra ATA 100
Hard Drive Speed 	7200rpm
Interface Type 	USB 2.0
