There’s no such thing as too much storage. And considering Officeworks is now offering a 1TB WD Elements Desktop USB 2.0 external hard drive for $95, now’s probably a pretty good time to add a couple of terabytes to your collection.
The drive comes formatted for PCs, but will also work with Macs after a reformat and includes WD’s energy saving Green Power technology.
Sounds like a bargain to me…

formatting the hdd as NTFS and use NTFS-3G
for Mac OS X.

Saturday, May 8, 2010 at 12:55 PMWas going to mention appearance of these drives at Harvey Norman and JB HiFi as well. It appears that someone has imported a bulk amount to ship through discount electronics stores.

Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 10:45 AMYou can’t ilsnatl windows on an external hard drive.Its possible you had a virus that corrupted your drive, or the drive may be failing. I would use one of the disk utilities such as seatools form seagate website they are free and will check your disk for bad sectors, just google seatools.If your disk is still good when you come to choose a partition you should have the option to just delete the biggest partition and then choose quick format to ntfs, then continue with the ilsnatl
