Western Digital My Book Premium 500GB USB/FW 400 Ext Hard Drive
Does what I want it to do
I ran out of space on my 80GB backup external HD, so I looked for the largest external I could find. The 500GB from WD was the answer. I went for the WDG1C5000N to take advantage of the USB (for my older work Windows-based laptop) and Firewire (for my newer personal MacBook). I didn't need nor want the fancy backup software. I use the .Mac backup software on the Mac and I the batch file I used to backup the Windows machine on the 80GB works fine on  the 500GB. <br /> <br />No fuss back up and it's quieter than the old 80GB.
