Looking for a good, stable external hard drive

Usb is ucked up.
I hate usb drives.
Are fire-wire drives more stable?

I think I corrupted the drive by turning it off unsafely.

If I shut down windows normally, do I have to shut down the drive first, or windows will do it for me?

If I "Mount the Drive" internally, what does that mean?  It will still feed off of the external power, and someone can still pull the plug, and it can still corrupt.  That doesn't make it any safer.   Why would I mount an external drive internally?  It makes more sense to buy IDE drive.
