I ended up ordering a Thermatake single drive HDD Dock and a Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB HDD. Supposed to receive both by the 14th.
And about Apple's control over apps for their OS it's great for them and customers. Not so good for developers I suppose looking for the best deal. As a customer...
Question about Thermatake ext HD dock (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...746&CatId=2785).
The webpage says it's "...PC & Mac compatible...VISTA Ready". What does that mean? Curious. Not that it should matter for me since I'm buying a dock for my iMac. I'm assuming because it's...
True today. But I'd add what sets Apple apart is their smart OS and apps. And they do have some other smart peripherals.
Just found a Vantec dual dock USB 3.0 "exclosure" that supports up to 4TB (though they say check with their website...which says the same thing..."check with our...
Looks like these enclosures support only up to 2TB drives (which is fine for me) and I need to make sure they support Mac OS X. Some only support Windows.

And it...

As I said. I tried formatting my WD 2TB Essential for Mac without...
Thanks for the information Emulex. Yes. Using a DROBO with at least 2 drives would make more sense since that is part of the point of having one. If one drive fails...
Maybe I'll get one in the future. I am looking at OWC ext drives too now. Formatted for Macs. Well built. Reliable. And...
It's been decades since I've had to buy a hard drive. I'm thinking of buying a DROBO for my new iMac so I need to buy at least 1 drive to start. Probably some 2TB 7200 rpm 3.5" drive. Do hard drives come formatted today?
I ask because I own an iMac (no drive bays) so there is no way for me to...
