[QUOTE="KiwiJenn, post: 652133, member: 41849"] woah the hard drive I was going to get isn't there anymore:Grimmace: they can order it and it's price has gone back to normal:o a bit more than I had thought too. Now I wish I had bought the My Book Extreme 500GB HD for NZ$158 and it's now way more. I was told with the stuff I have on my Mac, I mostly likey have like 4GB worth heheh so maybe a 500GB HD is a bit extreme. The cheaper one is a iomega 360GB hard drive, would that be a decent HD to get? or should I stick with a 500GB hardrive? The bigger hard drives also have to use a power cord:Grimmace: as well as USB. I had a look at the USB only hard drives and the max is 160GB (mainly for laptops they said) but they still recommend the bigger hard drives for desktops. I then confused myself:* and asked about Time Capsule and was told it's a hard drive and wireless connection, but I don't need it as I have 1 iMac. I'm going to check out DickSmith and Noel Leeming and anywhere else on there hard drive prices, then go get one:) [/QUOTE]
