[QUOTE="jah, post: 638321, member: 32736"] external hd look at zipzoomfly.com andor newegg.com, i like the costumers reviews and they strong delivery response at newegg, buy a blank box ($40) with firewire and or usb2 connect and buy a hd. the hd is a sata2 500gig thingy ($110). put the two together, format it hfs+ (mac) or ntfs (pc). i have a ntfs home netowrk and os10.5.2 reads writes just fine. does the TimeMachine w/ some patch. dont know about usb2 or firewire but likely to work too better than a networked situation. another thing about usb2 is it takes significant hardware to get near the max data rate so whatever you buy you just dont know how fast it will be.
