Thanks Daniel - look forward to hearing from you.
BTW I too would dearly like an excuse to go to Mauritius - Hi Wendy -
indeed my eldest daughter just signalled that she might go there "as a
well deserved reward for working so hard at uni" - hmmmm. Although I
seem to recall something about Wendy moving back to Oz?
Cheers,
Tony.

Hi Tony
Happy to ship to Albany, I send things there quite a bit. I send
things all
over Oz and have even been known to send things to Mauritius. :o)
(Though I
do offer for Wendy to fly me over and set them up,...) :o) (Hi Wendy).
I'll email you off list and I'm sure we can work something out.
Kind Regards

Thanks Daniel - very helpful. I will get firewire for the video
storage, and I would buy from you except I'm in Albany (although if
you have recommendations and a not too expensive way of shipping to
me
I would be interested in hearing from you).
Cheers,
Tony.

Hi Tony
Yes, if you're going to use it for storing and editing, and have
Firewire,
go that way. Firewire works on straight transfer, whereas USB
works on
"burst" information, so it goes up and down in waves. (kinda). So
it's
generally slower for large data. I've always found Firewire walks
all over
USB. And Firewire800 is faster again.
So yes, my recommendation would be Firewire for any editing type
application. Also making sure it's not formatted DOS. Had a person
have
trouble trying to edit to a drive and it was due to the format.
Reformat the
drive to Mac and it worked perfectly.
Hope that helps.
Kind Regards
Daniel

I have a WD Elements 1TB USB 2.0 on a 2 GHz 1.5 GB Intel iMac
10.5.6
and it has worked seamlessly for a year - no tricky reformatting,
just
plug, disk utility (2 partitions), & use. Always mounts, always
available, always responsive.
However I am about to get another 1TB drive specifically for
storing
iMovie files for later editing/compilation - I'm gathering from the
comments that a Firewire drive might be more stable for all the
video
traffic?
Cheers,
Tony

Hi Ken
Was the WD you bought a firewire? I hear that's best for the
mac. My
maxtor 500gb is firewire and just plugged in and worked
best

Thanks Brian, I'm running 10.4.11 on a Power Mac G5. It wasn't a
good result for me. Should it be any different on an Intel model?

Hi,
Daniel Kerr supplied me with a WD My Book a while ago and it has
worked flawlessly since I formatted it
using the GUID option on my intel iMac. I don't remember
having to
use any software from WD. Just formatted it
with Disk Utility.
Cheers

Hi everyone,
any recommendations for a 1TB hard drive that is readily
compatible with Mac & no need for extra instal procedures?
Officeworks have a 1TB Western Digital but they really don't
work with Mac. it was $179 @ the time but now $219.
I bought one a few months back (My Book or something similar) &
it just did not work without downloading a heap of stuff from
their site.
Also an internal 500 gig is needed. Is it PLE computers in
Wangarra? Roger mentioned them as a possible source.
thanks folks,
Ken
