Wut? Yes! hahaaa! I found 2 IDE drives in my magical closet of 320GB each. Not sure where they belong. But now they take care of the backups for both my Macbook Pro and iMac.
But… Yes, IDE drives. I bought 2 Macally 3.5″ USB2.0/Firewire400 casings. Turns out they’re stackable. Yay!
So behold! My massive storage tower… Isn’t it pretty? It’s aluminium seated on small rubber feet. The top one for my laptop and the other for the imac. Woohoo! Timemachine… No way, none of that… I bought SuperDuper! a while back. In all it’s awesomeness of cloning harddisks so that they are actually useful if the main drive fails. Instead of the mayhem Timemachine creates on a harddisk. Also Timemachine has proven me way too unreliable of loosing it’s contents or not recognizing the disk at all and thus has to reformat it for the “new” backup… Yea, rubbish!
