Hi,
I'm looking to purchase an external 3TB USB 3.0 drive when the new iMac's are available for purchase. (Looking to retire my old PC)
This new drive will be used to hold my iTunes library.
Does anyone have either the 3TB LaCie Porsche 9233 (5400 rpm) or the 3TB d2 Quadra (7200 rpm)?
The 2 Quadra is about $50 more, and has additonal interfaces (fireware, ESata) that I won't use.
Wondering If I would be ok with a 5400 rpm drive for the iTunes library, or the extra $50 for the 7200 rpm speed would be worth it / needed?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
