Hi there,
I recently read in an article the Time Machine takes up a whole drive when it backs up.

If this is the case what advice would you give on external hard drive purchases. i already have a 320gb hard drive from my old PC, but i need to get it a case (with firewire 800) but i can't find anywhere in the UK that sells just cases! Would this be big enough to back up the iMac (also with 320gb hard drive) i'm going to get? I was planning to get another hard drive (probably my book) for general media storage (the 320gb one in the iMac might not be enough, i rip a lot of DVD's)
What are your thoughts?
Cheers, Joe
