Western Digital My Book for Mac

[Grimspoon]

Anyone have one of these? After looking around for a 2TB external this seems like the best option for Mac.

Looks great, 2TB storage, formatted for Mac, works great with Time Machine.

Only 1 downside I could pick up is that it is only a 5200 RPM drive. . . but does this really matter.

Any feedback?

If the ordinary mybook is cheaper I'd go for that and just format it to HFS+.

What I am trying to understand is there is also a My Book elite which has a LCD display on the front which gives all kinds of info, and that is cheaper than the essential edition.

I wonder if Zaps have just made a bugger up with the price.
