hard drives--which one(s)?
My requirements are:
500GB external. Must have USB 2.0 (iMac G4 connect) Must have Firewire 400 (Sony Vaio laptop connect) Must be under $225 eSATA interface seems like it's a pain in the ass and I don't need its transfer speed so I'm not sure if I would get that since I don't think my Mac can work it. So far, I've looked at LaCie and Western Digital. I'm open to other suggestions and welcome all comments.:thumbsup Thanks, JP |
i have a 500 gb western digital..no problems
|
yeah, the my book is sweet.
Also has some morse code on the air vent :) |
You might be better off getting a HD case that fits 4 drives, can get 250gb-320gb drives super cheap, and use RAID so only one of the 4 drives is used to repair with if needbe.. So with 4 320gb drives you'd get a TB of functional space without fear of losing all that data.
500gb is a lot to trust to one drive. |
How about $179

When it comes to Hard Drives, I'm a devout Western Digital man.
In all my time, I've only had one crap out on me... and that was after 15 years of continual use. |

Ummm, do I actually have to know what I am doing to put it all together when I get it? I don't know the first thing about hardware. |
bump . . . any more ideas, folks?
|
newegg had the best price last time i checked.
|
you can trust the products from western digital :thumbsup :thumbsup
|
WD is a good way to go, Seagate is even better for the 5yr warrenty :D
|
I'm not a hardware guy at all. If I went the Seagate route, I could buy an existing Seagate external, but if I bough an internal, is it fairly simple to set up the Seagate internal with an external enclosure?
