Fantom vs. EZQuest for backup drive?

I'm looking for a backup external hard drive for my iMac G5 and I think
I've narrowed it down to two suspects:


the Fantom Drive Titanium IEEE 1394 FireWire 80GB Hard Drive 7200rpm

and

the EZQuest Monsoon 80GB External Firewire400/USB2.0 7200RPM Hard Drive


They appear to have identical specs, both have lightweight aluminum
cases and silent/fanless operation...the Fantom is fifteen dollars
cheaper ($107 vs $90 or something like that, not a huge deal) but I'm
unfamiliar with either brand, reviews are hard to find as most Google
returns seem to be these bogus epinions non-existent "user comments" or
the like, do people recommend one brand/product over the other? Tia!

We have a Fantom at work that we used for files that we have finsihed,
and are waiting for archiving. It works well, but we had to reformat it
because it had issues with OS 9 (we work in OS9 for Quark, and OSX for
most everything else). Having done that it works fine.
