External HDD recommedations
polycounter lvl 11
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.

MyBook Essenial: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/244504?utm_source=google&utm_medium=products
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.
Any other recommendations would be welcome.
