I'm searching for a new hd to use as a backup with time machine on my MacBook Pro...
At the moment I have it nailed down to the Western Digitla 500GB My Book Studio Edition
The Apple Store (Canada) - Western Digital 500GB My Book Studio Edition
Or the Iomega 500GB UltraMax Desktop Hard Drive
The Apple Store (Canada) - Iomega 500GB UltraMax Desktop Hard Drive
The Iomega is a bit cheaper, however it doesn't have the FW 800 capability the western digital drive has (Iomega has FW400)... However, the western digital brand as a whole probably isn't as reliable as Iomega... They've been around forever... Plus some negative reviews of the WD on the apple site seem to back that up. I'm tempted to go with the Iomega drive at this point but would appreciate some insight.
