Inspired by some recent posts, I got a seagate 320g freeagent
external drive.  One of the little ones.  I got this instead of the
western digital whatever that was right next to it.  same capacity,
same form factor, same price.  I have two questions.

Did I choose the right drive?  should I have gone with the western
digital?

Also, I'm going to get rid of whatever backup software comes on
the thing, but was wondering if I should keep the (I'm assuming) vfat
filesystem on it or put ext3 or 4 on it instead while I'm at it.

It's not out of the box yet--it's still very easily returned or
exchanged.  whatduyu think?
