My laptop was wheezing lately, with only 500MB left over from the internal original disk of 75GB on my MacBook laptop. It was exhausting limiting myself in the number of pictures I take or the movies I want to edit (not many of the latter, but the thought is still there!) So I was extremely happy when I got to the office this afternoon to find this on my desk: all 160GB of it in a pocket size extremely light thing!
I connected it, the nifty little circular neon blue light came on, it got mounted on the desktop and the shoved across all my pictures and movies across. That was about 35GB of stuff!
I daren't delete the pictures yet before I confirm (and back them up) on another computer, but I deleted the movies and that immediately brought back about 15GB of space which is more than enough for my use at the moment.
I'll get home tonight and connect it to my MacMini and see if it is recognised there too. It should be okay, I've got maybe twice the amount of pictures on that one, housed at the moment on an external MaxStor drive which is bursting at the seems too! I don't mind if I don't use this disk other than backing up my media really, so I'll fill it up with my full media archive and probably just throw it in the safe until I need a picture on it, or, as it looks rather sexy sitting next to my laptop, I'll keep it connected and keep playing with it!
