I need to back up a bunch of stuff, and I think an external hard drive is what I need to do it with.  I need about 40GB capacity, and since I'm just backing up with iit, not running programs off f it, I don't need it to be superfast or anything.  I just need a cheap drive that will interface with USB (1.0, not 2.0).  Suggestions?

anything rated for USB 2.0 will work on your USB 1.0 interface.

I have that same one. Its great, but the on/off switch is kinda funky. Its almost touch sensitive, which kind of sucks if you accidently bump it or something.
