Okay, so since Tiger is pouncing on us so swiftly,
I'm looking for a cheap external hard drive so I can back up my ibook.
I really wanna find one that I can have for the whole backing up, and then just sell it. Yeah, I'm totally looking into ebay, but I just wanna know from you TFPers, whats are some good brands to buy? And RPM speeds? What's "standard"?
What type of connection would you recommend, firewire or usb 2.0?
Is there anything else I should know when buying one?
