External Hard Drives
The best and most reliable options for any external hard drive are the following:
FORMAT - Mac Os Extended (Journaled) which is also known as HFS+.
Most hard drives you purchase will be preformatted in a PC format such as FAT or NTFS.
It's also not a bad idea to zero the data on the drive when formatting, which will map out any bad sectors.
CONNECTON - Use FireWire. Don't use USB. FireWire is both faster and more reliable.
