PC World were doing a deal on a 320gb external Toshiba USB2 drive for €160 or thereabouts a couple of weeks ago. It's pretty nifty, especially for the money. I don't know if it's still available though.

Get one bigger than 80gb, I'd say.
Dunno what hardware you're using, but I know digidesign highly recommends using a drive with an oxford 911 chipset with the 002r.
Check the compatibility spiel on their site for your hardware.

everyone using protools seems to use a lacie drive. i have one and it's great. check out the pro tools forums and you'll find the recommended ones.
