Looking for a good external HDD, mainly to store photos. Been looking at the Western Digital MyBook series. Although i'm having a hard time understanding their product line.
Does anyone know the difference between these two versions? The Essential version seems to come with more features, yet the standard version seems to be more costly.
To give you an idea of the difference, here's from their specs page...
eSATA: up to 3Gbits/s (300MB/s)
FireWire 800: up to 800Mbits/s (100MB/s)
FireWire 400: up to 400Mbits/s (50MB/s)
Hi-Speed USB 2.0: up to 480Mbits/s (60MB/s)
