Western Digital's Mac Edition is indeed 'value-end'

-

Mac Edition - with a single USB

Home Edition - replete with hubs

Mac Edition - on the shelf since early March

Rather than update the manuals on Mac HFS+ formatting for its existing models which come replete with Firewire, Sata and USB hubs, why did Western Digital spoon-feed Mac users with a Mac Edition and pitch it at the value-end of a so-called new series offering no hubs but a single USB connection.


As it is, the range of its external drives is diverse, if not confusing, and the recent entry joins its Windows-oriented Essential, Studio, Home, Office, Mirror and Passport.


My point is, the existing range can be Mac-oriented in minutes, besides the single USB value-end 1TB Mac Edition has less bang-for-buck than the mid-range 1TB Home which comes with two Firewire 400s, one Sata and one USB hub; and to rub it further, it costs less than its single USB Mac brother.


Most Mac users are aware of the risk in using a Windows platform for large amounts of data, therefore, all Western Digital had to do was come clean on this issue and update its manual on the formatting alternative for its existing range instead of blindsiding unsuspecting Mac users into paying more for a new series.


Cheers, Tommy

Exchange Stabilization Fund (Parts 1 to 4) •... by 1tommypeters1 Exchange Stabilization Fund (Part 5) • Eric... by 1tommypeters1 Bullet points summarized by The Daily Bell • The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was created (without oversight) by Congress in the 1930s to ensure support of the Dollar. It has done a lousy job of what it was supposed to do, as the Dollar has lost almost all its value. • The ESF was put in the hands of the head of the US Treasury and the US Treasurer has absolute power to do what he wants with the fund. • As a result, the ESF has acted as a giant slush fund that has funded the growth of the American Empire over the past century against the will of both Congress and many bankers in private industry. • The ESF effectively runs the US Federal Reserve and tells the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Fed) what to do. It does this because it is responsible for stabilizing the dollar and implementing policies that are in the national inte
