Amazon currently has a good deal on a bus-powered (i.e., it runs off the computer’s USB power) USB 3.0 external hard drive at 1TB capacity for $79.99.
Details here at Amazon. (Make sure you select the 1TB from the drop-down menu circled in the screenshot above.)
As I’ve pointed out before, USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports. I regularly use a USB 3.0 drive on both my USB 2.0 MacBook and my USB 3.0 desktop and it works like a charm.

Amazon has a Seagate 2TB USB 3.0 external HD for $80 right now. The last time this deal was up, it only lasted for a day.
If you’re still only sporting USB 2.0, you’ll be OK since USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with it too.

Thank Kubota Image Tools for upping the ante in the Swag Bag Giveaway.
Kubota Image Tools had generously said it would hand out a $100 value gift certificate to the Swag Bag winner. Well, I just got Kubota’s prize pack in the mail and what I found inside is over twice that value. [click to continue…]
