| 722210 | 2008-11-23 09:33:00 | Hey, I'm wanting to buy a portable external harddrive, but not sure which one to go for . I'm wanting one at least 100gb, and that can be compatible with mac and windows and can work transferring files between the two with ease . I was looking at the maxtor mini, but I'm not sure if it can work between mac and windows . . . ? any help would be appreciated, Cheers |

| 722214 | 2008-11-23 10:36:00 | Dunno if you are interested, but Noel Leeming are selling Western Digital 160GB Elements external hard drives for $100- the one in Wellington city had about 20 left last I looked. I flagged it as I want the passport one- apparently they're a bit sturdier. I know ones you put together yourself are more to your spec, but this one is ready to rock... just sayin' :thumbs: | Sick Puppy (6959) | ||
| 722215 | 2008-11-23 11:09:00 | ^ cool, i'll go check that out, sounds like a good deal, cheers. Also just come across a 'freecom toughdrive', anyone familiar with these? |
