Mac OS X Leopard and External Hard Drives

Subconsciously, I’ve been looking to get an external hard drive for Mac OS X Leopard’s Time Machine just as Paul Stamatiou pointed out.

This week, Circuit City has a decent sale on those 500-GB Western Digital vertical standing My Book series. The Essential Edition 2.0 only has USB 2.0 while the Home Edition features USB 2.0 but also FireWire 400, and eSATA. A $40 difference between the 500-GB Essential ($129.99) and Home Editions ($169.99) at Circuit City.

So it’s get the Home Edition for $40 more and use FireWire or buy the Essential Edition and a USB hub for $50 since my current hub is full.

Dang, Circuit City sold out of the 500-GB drive on the first day of the sale. :(

You can get it on sale this week at Best Buy for $169. If you sign up for a Best Buy Visa you can get $30 off as well.

WW, thanks! Picked one up and Best Buy had plenty in stock. Not like Circuit City that sold out of their allotment of 3 drives the first day of the sale.
