I don't know if i went too far with the last one. :-) You will be fine. There are mining jobs in WA, FIFO roles, Logistics e.t.c. Downside is, you are away from home a lot, Upside, you could end up in Karratha and you know a guy with an awesome job involving beer.

The 500gb one does, just not the 2tb.

I actually have a special box I can use, but do you think we can find the damn power adapter??!!!

Still would be easier to plug straight in to set top box.
:D


Anyone else get the idea old man Swanky has a lot of porn ;)


yep

I have a 2 TB external drive and I opted to partition it.

1.5 TB in NTFS and 0.5 TB in Fat 32.

Fat 32 works on most non PC systems including the PS3 but the downside of Fat 32 is that you can only store or create files (not folders) no larger than 2 GB.

Windows wont partition a fat 32 disk any bigger than 32 GB however this is a limitation set by windows and not what the drive can support. You will need to download a third party disk drive manager to partition or format a drive for Fat 32 larger than 32 GB.

Speaking of external hard drives Aldi has a 1TB USB 3.0 compatible portable HD for under $80 in stores across the country tomorrow. Got to be quick though cos they will sell quickly (even though you can find similarly priced ones on the net if you look hard enough)
