Hi folks,

back-up hardrive - I currently have a 500GB maxtor basics - it is nearly full.

I never had any problems with the maxtor basics, but I don't think they do them models now.

What do you guys reckon is a good back-up hardrive to go for?

Good question.............just the back-up drive I use for my Mac is dying.

I am considering a firewire connection as I plan to export my itunes collection to it and have read somewhere that USB can cause stuttering.

So taking a 'piggy-back' on your thread, if thats ok - any thoughts anyone?:thumbs:

shouldnt do, unless youre doing a large file transfer at the same time.

Going to give it a go as I already have an unopened 2nd 1Tb USB HD. Not a problem for piccies but will let you know if I have any problems:thumbs:
