[QUOTE="Sketch., post: 1404327, member: 252422"] Hey, In my honest opinion, as much as i love all Apple products, I think £249 for an external hard drive (Which is all it really is) is extortionate! Of course you have the beauty of hooking it up to your wireless network, but if it's just you using it, then it may be a bit pricey! However, if you do wish to use it on your home network, I'd recommend taking a look at a few cheaper options... for example. Western Digital do a 3TB External hard drive with networking capabilities for about £100 cheaper: [URL='http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0054TNUU4/']Amazon.co.uk: Used and New: Western Digital My Book for Mac: WDBAAG0030HCH-EESN (WDBAAG0030HCH-EESN)[/url] The bottom line is: If you want an external drive just for you, explore the market for drives with the same capacity or more. Chances are you'll find an external hard drive with 2 - 3TB for around £90 - £130! If you do want the networking capabilities, I wouldn't go straight for Apples time capsule. Most external hard drives (that work on Mac) work with TimeMachine. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
