I am in the market for an external hard drive. I'd prefer one that has 16MB cache. In terms of connectivity, while I want USB 2.0 as an option for portability, I'm thinking of frog-jumping over the firewire options and going straight to eSATA.
That's why the following hard drive seemed so appealing: http://www.clubmac.com/clubmac/shop/detail.asp?dpno=7193213
The Western Digital MY BOOK PREMIUM ES EDITION (WDG1SU500N). Seems like a good drive. The problem is, I can't find it anywhere on the internet. In fact, that link above is the only place I could track it down. I could not find any reference to it on Western Digital's website, and in typing in the model number into google, the above link was the only link to show up...
Any idea on why this hard drive is so rare? The only reason I knew to look for it at all was I saw it at Best Buy, where it was $280+tax. I figured I could go home and find a better deal online - but I'm cautious to buy any drive that is so obscure...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe
