I recently bought a Mac Mini and wanted to get an additional (external) hard drive for storage of movies, music, etc. Was looking for a 1TB atleast.
Now I need to have one that can be on 24/7 with no problems. Maybe something that doesn't sound like a jet engine and doesn't get as hot as the sun. The last part... Something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I currently have a Western Digital 500GB Passport. It works and seems fine.
I was looking at the following...
Iomega Mini Max 1TB
Western Digital 1TB Passport
Thermaltake BlacX with 1 or 2TB drive
Thoughts? The only one that I am not sure of is the BlacX because it can't go into any type of sleep mode that IKnow of.
