To make my work & blog life more mobile, I’ve been using my Macbook Pros more frequently than the stationary Mac workstations. In order for me to do this, I had to upgrade my internal hard drives on the laptops to 500GB drives. This was very easy thanks to Other World Computing. Even with the upgraded internal drives I still needed more space as well as a mobile backup system.

I ended up buying the 500GB OWC Mercury On-The-Go external Hard Drives. These things rock! They are fast, bus-powered (don’t require you to plug them into a wall socket) and they are compact. If you want a hard drive that will meet all your needs, check out OWC’s Firewire/USB External Hard Drives.
