jsalicru Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I have a 1Tb external WD "My Book" USB 2.0 HDD. Used for about 1 month to back up my macs. I would actually say 2 weeks since I was on vacation for 2 weeks out of that month. Have all documentation and stuff.. I would just return it if it wasn't for the fact that I don't have the receipt. Looking for $180 shipped. Only reason I want to sell is because I got a Time Capsule so I have no need for this. "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edekba Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 haha I didnt mean it that way. Sorry. I thnk the white has the FireWire ports and the esata though I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsalicru Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Well, I could take the pics if you REALLY need them... but its a good deal and I know it hehe. And yes, I CAN hook it up to my Time Capsule and have 1.5 Tb but I really don't have that much need... hence the reason Im selling. I really wanted the Time Capsule cause I wanted a backup system + wireless-N for my house. I have an iMac + a MacBook + a MacBook Pro and wanted to take advantage of wifi backups which can only be done with the Time Capsule. Yes, its exactly the same as the picture posted. I will take pics and edit.. just need to take it out since I packaged it up already "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts.

jsalicru Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 if it was firewire I'd probably take it. unless its firewire 800 there isnt much difference in speed between usb 2.0 vs firewire 400... plus usb 2.0 is more abundant. now if it were firewire 800... yum!

MiniStiGuy Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 exactly.... good luck on the sale though. If you still have it around and I come across some $$$ I'll hit you up about it. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsalicru Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 of course.. I think its going away no matter what.. my mom seems interested in it considering she is running out of space in one of her computers at home... I also have my apple hookup who seems somewhat interested.. we shall see... worst comes to worst.. I'll just keep it and connect it to my Time Capsule anyways..

-TT- Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 being unfamiliar with external HDDs, will this work regardless of OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsalicru Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 yes and no... it just depends on how you format it. For example... OS X will read/write FAT32 but not NTFS... not that you would format a 1Tb drive in FAT32 anyways.... nevertheless in that particular case there is software like "Parallels" that cure's that. But, yes, you can format a drive using a particular format type and use it in many different types of OS "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers.
