Lots and lots of monies.

Not a bad price considering it has 4TB. Say $200~250/2TB disk and a nice $50 case, that's less "apple compatible" profit than usual.

And btw, they aren't anything specific for Macs or anything.

Infact I don't think we have any 4x quad xeon things with eSATA.

But they do color-match the cases somewhat.

Default formatting is for macs, compatible with the time machine app.

Whatever the latter may mean.

DiskUtility (comes with Leopard) can sort that out for u.

TimeMachine will work on any separate disk afaik. Believe it'll work on a FAT32 external.

TimeMachine is kind of a recording taken of ur desktop use. It can be set at a timed interval, so if u do something and screw-up, u can use it to kinda roll-back. Or go back in time
