Please recommend external hard drive

I have 80G HD and it had only 2G left (big music library)
I just purchased video converter (Blackmagic Design H.264 Format Video Recorder)
to convert my VHS library into digital media.
Please advice which HD I should buy to store about 100 tapes? 1T or 2T? or maybe less GIG with burning DVD as backup?
Here is what I have:
Machine Name: PowerBook G4 15"
Machine Model: PowerBook5,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.25 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
System Version: Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S165)
Kernel Version: Darwin 8.11.0
Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
Disk Description : FUJITSU MHT2080AT Total Capacity : 74.5 GB (80,026,361,856 Bytes)
Connection Bus : ATA Write Status : Read/Write

You could consider an enclosure with a place for two hard disk drives, and learn about how to set up a RAID array so you get two copies at once, of all backups into such a drive configuration.
Also, if your computer has Firewire ports, you could choose to look for an external enclosure with that connection FW800 interface, and also be sure it has its own power supply. Some of these are also good at being able to use a clone copy of the Mac OS X, so you have a backup bootable system on hand. These would be created by a clone utility in a partition of an externally enclosed hard disk drive; separate from other backup schemes or devices. FireWire enclosures for use with booting Mac OS X clones, may have a chipset in them to make them more compatible with running OS X from an external drive. I have some that sport an 'oxford-type chipset' from a few years ago.
The OWC esales brand of external drive enclosures look inviting. I have one that was gifted to me, never used it and have never bought from them. It is USB when I needed a FW option. They do have those.
Oh, if you have up to four USB devices plugged into your iMac, you may consider getting a quality brand powered USB hub, so as to not overload the limited power of the iMac USB board. And if you use a wired USB keyboard, be sure it gets plugged directly into the Mac, for use when or if the Hub may be acting up.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • Recommended external hard drive for R&R?

    I just got my new T420 and I want to get an external hard drive for Rescue & Recovery backups. I used R&R to back up and recover all the time with my old T60, but it's too small. I'm looking at a couple of Seagate hard drives. Does anyone know if I need to re-format the external hard drive to get rid of any software on it before using R&R? Or does it even matter? Any experience with Seagate for R&R backups?

    Just get a large enough drive. I recommend a drive or drive enclosure that supports eSATA for fast backup speeds.

  • Recommended External Hard Drives?

    Looking to get an external hard drive to store photos,music,movies etc.
    I have heard not so good things about Western Digital, but have heard good things about Lacie and this product:
    http://www.newertech.com/products/ministackv2_5.php
    Anyone have any recommendations and personal experiences?
    I am planning to use this over Firewire of course.
    Thanks.

    I agree with Geordies comments about people only posting when there are problems and not about when the product is working fine but unfortunately I had a one of the few bad ones. After buying my iMac I bought one of those WD My Books for Time Machine backups and was not impressed. Two or three time a minute between the hourly backups the Book would spin for a few seconds and then spin down repeatedly non-stop. When it did spin down you could feel a vibration in the desk as the disk came to a stop. So I took it back to Costco and the clerk said they had had a few of them returned. After hearing that I took the refund rather than exchange. I've purchased and used WD drives for years with never a problem and I still like the brand but the My Book I can't recommend. I'm sure they are not all bad but watch for that if you do buy one.

  • Please help - external hard drive security / privileges issue.

    Yesterday while messing around with my mac I stupidly changed a setting I can't seem to remedy.
    I may have somehow selected an obscure security / privileges option, most likely within the 'get info' option and now my external hard drive icon is not visible on my desktop so I can reselect it to unselect the setting. I know its ok because 'disk first aid' can verify its presence but I can't see it.
    Urgently need access as I have data i need to retrieve.
    Please help.
    G4 OS 10.4

    I`m a little confused. Disk First Aid is a utility from MacOS 9.
    Do you mean disk utility ?
    If yes, in the upper line is a button for unmounting a disk. I don`t want to try it, but is it possible that a unmounted disk can be mounted again ?
    I just found out, that when you move the cursor over the button, it says: unmount or mount a disk. Maybe that`s it.

  • Best Recommended External Hard Drive For IMac 3.1Ghz i5 Core

    Hi Guys!
      I'm in need of a external hard drive for my iMac,
    I have never used a external hard drive for a Mac but i have for Windows PC's
    I need something Fast & Easy to use,  
    Thanks in advance!

    Before you buy, find out what brand drive is installed. Stay away from Seagate. They appear to be turning out junk now. An external drive is not specific to any iMac model.
    You can also just buy the same empty enclosure from OWC and get a decent deal on a bare drive from Newegg.com. Takes twenty minutes or less to DIY. How to video on the OWC site. Needs just a phillips screwdriver.
    You want a 3.5" SATA drive. If from Newegg, it will need to be reformatted for Mac. Mac OS extended Journaled. Partition Map Scheme: GUID.

  • Please Help - External Hard Drive Issue

    1) Most of my music is on an external hard drive.
    2) I do not always keep my external hard drive connected to my computer.
    3) Recently, out of the blue, itunes started saying it couldn't find the files in library.
    4) I deleted the library and re-loaded it so that all the filepaths were correct.
    5) I disconnected my hard drive and opened my itunes library. It obviously couldn't find the files because the hard drive wasn't attached.
    6) I re-attached the hard drive.
    7) I opened itunes. It is no longer finding the files. Somehow the old filepaths were all erased. I have more than 7,500 songs, so finding the file for each one doesn't work as a solution.
    I need to find a solution for this. I want my library on my C drive because I still have some music on that drive and don't want to have to attach my hard drive every time I add music (something I then do later). I tried sorting through all the other information out there, but there is too much and it's too varied. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks so much.
    Aidan
    P.S. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the itunes 8.0.2, which seems not to have some of the buttons shown on previous versions (i.e. "import"). Thoughts?

    Thanks so much for the help. It's seriously annoying to have to do this, but if that's what it takes.... One question: Is there not any way just to keep the file paths the same? i.e. If, when I add the folder to the library, the file path points to the location on my external hard drive, why won't it just stay pointed there so that an error message shows when the hard drive's not attached but then doesn't show when it is? I mean, it seems that itunes is re-naming/re-addressing the file path whenever the hard drive's not attached - a very aggravating feature.
    Thanks again.

  • Will time capsule support Airportextreme 802.11ac and an external hard drive on my iMac (late 2011) with Yosemite?

    I want to set up a new Airport extreme 802.11ac with an external drive as a wireless back up for time capsule. I have an iMac (late 2011) running Yosemite. Will this work, and if so, what are the recommended external hard drives that work the best.
    The rationale for not buying a time capsule is that I have had 2 hard drive failures and replacements on both my iMacs and I am afraid if the time capsule drive fails, it will be yet another apple hard drive that has failed on me. I currently back up on G drive external drives.

    Apple does not make hard drives. They may be using the same drive that's in your G-Drives.
    You can backup to an external drive connected to the newest AEBS via USB.

  • I need recommendations in purchasing an external hard drive, to back up everything in my computer. What brand and Size?

    I have a mid 2010 iMac, version 10.8.2, memory 4GB, 1TB sata disk.
    Apple sent me an e-mail last year stating that my imac maybe affected to a recall. They said I have to back up my computer before sending it in to them. So its a great excuse to purchase an external hard drive.
    But I am clueless. I would like to know what brand and size of memory is recommened for my imac and my needs. I will be mostly be backing up homevideos and alot of pictures, music, and some documents.
    If someone could also explain about time machine? I guess its a whole separte thing from your media. I also would like to keep it affordable. I just purchased an external hard drive from www.macmall.com Seagate Backup Plus 1TB USB 3.0 Portable Drive - Black (STBU1000100).
    But I don't know if that was a really great choice because for it to work with time machine I have to reformat certain things, and Im not sure if I would like to have that hassle.
    I also wanted to know whats the difference between usb 3.0 and firewire. I read some forums saying that if you are to transfer videos you need to use firewire, and some agreed disagreed. Is that true?
    Please help!?
    I definitely would like to know what brands of external hard drives are highly recommended and good at price. The one I purchased is it any good?
    Thank you!

  • Set up to save directly to external Hard Drive so cannot have separate 'back up'I now want to reverse i.e save to internal Hard Drive and 'back up' on external 'hard Drive'. Please advise me how to do this.

    Macbook Air 13 inch purchased October 2013. set up to save [mainly photos] to external 'hard drive' i.e. not saved to internal hard drive. Cannot find easy way to create 'back up'. Please advise how I can reverse i.e save directly to internal 'hard drive' and 'back up on external 'hard drive'

    For backing up your data I recommend that you use Time machine:

    When you import images or create other data files, file them in the appropriate places on your internal drive, don't delete them and let Time machine back them up.

  • Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. suggestions to complete backup please?

    I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. the same thing happens when just trying to save my pictures from iphoto to a flash drive. suggestions to complete backup please?

    Sounds like you'll need to access that drive while it is not booted. You need to replace it anyway, so do that, then one way or another (ext enclusure, et), access it and copy files.
    If you keep trying to boot it, you might kill it for good and not get your files, so just swap it out first.

  • My computer had a virus and needed to be wiped clean. all my itunes docs are stored on an external hard-drive so i downloaded a new itunes but it over-wrote my old one - how can i restore this without wiping my iphone? please help :(

    Hi there,
    My windows xp computer got a virus and needed to be wiped.
    As i store all of my itunes and iphone stuff on an external hardrive i thought this would not cause a problem.
    Got a bit confused when i tried to open itunes again from the back-up hardrive as it would not open.
    Wrongly assumed that the best option would be to re-download itunes and move my old itunes info across - silly silly thing to do :/
    The new download just over-wrote the old one and after trying a few of the suggestions on here to get my old library back - i still cant work out if its possible as it has been over-written.
    I don't want to plug my iphone4 into my computer as i have heard that this can wipe your phone completely, so before i do anything, does anyone know what is the best thing to do from here? or how i could posibly recover my old library, playlists, apps, podcasts e.t.c
    please please help

    from the file menu, choose add to library and select the folder on the external containing your content, or drag the folder to the automatically add to iTunes folder inside the iTunes folder.
    when iTunes has finished the operation, go back to preferences > advanced and point iTunes media folder location to the external so that future additions to your library are put there. also, re-enable the copy files ... when adding option.

  • What external hard drive to you recommend to free up space on an old Macbook Pro?

    My Macbook Pro is approx. 5 years old. I have since gotten an imac, however would like to use my old Creative Suite 2 on the macbook. When I updated it to "Lion" - it denied access to my creative suite apps. I have since contacted Adobe, and they have given me a solution to get it up and running again, however, my startup disk is just about FULL. Therefore I can't upgrade or really even open more than one app without getting the warning pop up about getting rid of some files asap or risk malfunction of the laptop.
    What external hard drive do you recommend to get the most bang for my buck in terms of offloading a massive amount of photos to in order to be able to use the laptop again?

    Your picture folder would have to be 10 times larger and then it would be close to 1 TB in size.  I have an aphorism, 'one cannot have too much storage'.  If the bank account can afford it, follow Ralph's advice and do go for the larger storage drive.  Given enough time, you might just grow into it..
    Now there is an issue that you should consider.  Since these pictures will no longer be on your MBP, do you want to have them backed up?  If so, you then are going to need an additional HDD to store the backups.  All HDDs will eventually fail, you just do not know when.
    Ciao.
