so the PC oriented one comes with USB 3 and the Mac oriented one comes with firewire 800 and USB 2 because right now Apple in their infinite wisdom is not supporting the USB 3 standard on the side we see stuff that we'll see when we open it up on the back we see stuff that we can talk about while we're looking at the drive because honestly with a drive normally there's not a whole lot to talk about however this one is a little bit different so number one it has a fully recyclable package which is pretty cool has a 2-year limited warranty okay it has him a hard drive inside so this is a desktop Edition Drive which means it's not uh not one of their smaller drives that uses a 2 and 1/2 in internal drive inside this one uses a 3 and 1/2 in internal drive inside an external enclosure so there we go there's the drive itself what makes a backup plus a Backup Plus well it's good for backing up because it's hard drive and it's fast it's got usb3 just going to put that right about there

yeah you just go oh okay you know I want to work on this or I want to see this project you want to work directly off the drive whether you're on a notebook or a desktop this kind of thing is very very
