[QUOTE="badmojo, post: 141323"] I agree with the mod. If there's a chance you would need to use the backup drive on a PC, then maybe a USB hard drive may be better. If not, then stick with firewire. One like this has both, and it's relatively inexpensive. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822161301[/url] By the way, if you would need to use it on a PC, then I think it should first be formatted using the PC. Macs can read PC-formatted drives but not the other way around. Good luck. Edit: LaCie drives tend to be the preferred brand around here, but they do cost a little more. [/QUOTE]
