I’m looking at external hard drives for my 13-inch late 2010 Macbook Air (2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, running on OS X 10.9.5).
It seems GTech drives are well regarded for reliability etc so am considering one of those. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a 'G-Technology G-DRIVE USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive' and a 'G-Technology G-DRIVE USB 3.0 FireWire 800 eSATA Desktop Hard Drive’? Which is better suited to my current Macbook Air, and poss future-proofed if/when I upgrade? Also - a secondary question but does matter to me - which is quieter, or do they both run reasonably quietly?
