Western Digital 500gb My Book Essential Edition
Posted by admin | Filed under Gadgets
I picked up one of these external hard drives last night. With $200 off for 500gb, I couldn’t refuse. I had a 60gb external before, but it wasn’t Western Digital like this one, so I didn’t trust it for backups. This one has a USB 2.0 interface, although the more expensive ones have Firewire and display freespace as a circle on the front. The really high-end ones offer network connectivity (drool).

I’ve been with Dreamhost for over a year now, and despite some downtime they seem to be doing pretty good. I’m always on the lookout for the best hosting value, and I’ve been hearing about MediaTemple and how its supposed to be so much more reliable, but why do they have such outageous ping times in comparison?
