Hi Olivia, they might be a bit more expensive, but if you already have
a router and a network, then network attached might be the way to go,
especially if you don't plan to move it. USB is great for
portability, but now we're getting up to 8 and 12 usb ports on a
chassey and the power consumption vs performance is getting just a bit
rediculous, especially for mac users who have access to really good
network and firewire support.
So, if you're going to carry it around with you go USB, and if you're
going to leave it stationary, go network. These are really easy to
put together, so I'd buy the hard drive and enclosure seperate and
then you can have the componants you want. Some of the new sata
enclosures support up to a terabyte now which is just rediculous.
I can talk you through it over the phone if you decide to get the
componants and build it yourself.
Best,
Erik

Hi Everyone,
Now that I have been downloading movies and TV shows thanks to
Itunes 8 I know I will need an external hard drive. What kinds of
hard drives do people have, and which ones would you recommend.
Also, How would I have my Itunes library downloaded onto an external
drive and sync my Ipod with it?
Thanks so much for any advice!
Olivia
