Is this pretty or what? My new Iomega Mac Companion External Desktop Hard Drive fits precisely onto the foot of my iMac. It’s even contoured to match the shape of the iMac stand. Match aluminum, too, as you see. Two terabytes of storage, Firewire 800 speed, and pleasantly quiet. It cost over $200 with tax, but that the same as I paid for my defunct Elephant Drive and the new one has 4 times the storage. Will it last better than the Elephant Drive? Iomega thinks so. They give the thing a 3-year warrantee.
Fingers crossed. I am creating a new Time Machine backup as I type this.

Neat!
In the pc world a stable 3T is about $120
but it’s not as cute.
Yes, Joni… neat. That’s it exactly. Of course, everything on the PC side tends to cost less that things that hook to Macs, but I could have saved a lot if I had chosen to go with a USB 2.0 transfer rate. The Firewire 800 speed appealed to me, since my old iMac doesn’t have a USB 3.0 port. Of course, Firewire is Apple… so up goes the price.
Yes, USB 3 rocks )
