Looking to buy a 2TB ext HD for my new iMac. Which has a 2TB drive.
I've seen some WD 2TB drives for around $140 CAD on Amazon.ca: Online shopping for Canadians - books, electronics, music, DVDs, software, video games & more but they usually say you need to reformat the drives to support Mac OS X 10.6. Is it as straight forward as I think? Anything I should be aware of?
The "for Mac" hard drives, especially the WD 2TB model is double the cost. At almost $290 CAD. Just because it comes pre-formatted for the Mac.
Thought I would save some money.
