Ben Kernan: 24"I-Mac 2/2.8/700, graphite g-4 1gig/400/52, iPad 2/64/wifi, iPhone 3g - Dedicated Mac user since Ben Kernan <[email protected]> Nov 25 05:34AM -0800 I have to replace the drive in my external drive which will be used for backup purposes. I currently have an 80 gig laCie which dates back to the emac g4 era... It is totally inadequate for use today! What is a little confusing to me is the variety of drives out there... ATA, IDE & SATA. I am not interested in SSD. I want this for home network backup, not time machine... Besides my 700 gig 24" imac, I also need to backup my wife's new 320 gig Macbook Pro.

Are you looking to purchase a bare drive and put it in your existing external box? Or buy a whole new box? If the former, then you need to match the drive's interface to that of the internal one on the box. Office Despot, today, has a 2 TB external drive for $70... - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. Didn't find that one, did find a 2 tb seagate at Amazon for $132 w/free shipping... Guess the 80 goes back in the corner for a while... I guess it is just cheaper to get a new external than replace the internal in the LaCie -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
