Comments about OWC / Other World Computing Mercury Elite-AL Pro Dual-Interface External Hard Drive (1TB):
I have a 5-year old Macbook, so a backup is extremely necessary. This thing is all I need and more. I used to have a Toshiba hard drive, but it crashed and I lost all my data. This thing far exceeds its competitors. My only complaint is that it isn't BUS-powered (but I'm really just nitpicking at this point).
