Which External Hard Drive Should I buy?

What brand of external hard drives for the macbook do you guys recommend? Where should I buy it from?
I will be using it to boot from, so I want something fast. As for size, 250+ GB is plenty. I am more interested in how fast I can run OS X on it.
Thanks,
KANE

Depending on what interface you want, you have a variety of choices from Other World Computing. I bought one of the basic OWC Neptune FW400 drives mainly for backup, but it is also bootable on my older machine. The newer Intel machines can boot via USB 2, so that might be a good faster option for your MacBook, but they have some OWC Mercury drives that offer multiple interface options, so you have the flexibility of FW400/800 USB2/1.

Get two of them, so you can make a regularly scheduled backup, using DejaVu, Retrospect, or CarbonCopyCloner, etc...

  • Which external hard drive should I buy for data back up?  Thanks

    Hello Seventree and welcome to discussions,
    If I can assume that the title of your post is your entire question....
    Make sure its Firewire - That way, you can boot up the eMac in the, unlikely, event of an internal drive failure / problem. You cannot boot PPC Macs from a USB drive.
    Get the biggest you can afford. The external may well outlive the eMac! Many machines now " ship " with 500 Gig drives. That amount is only likely to increase.
    Maxtor is one brand that seems to be well regarded among many here. I am sure there will be other suggestions for you.

    Buy an external drive 320G or larger (much larger is preferable). I do not recommend you use TM for this, instead download a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner and make a clone of your drive. Once this is done you have 2 choices, you can download and install Lion on your internal drive just as you planned or download and install Lion to the external clone, the 2nd method allows you to test the Lion install before committing to it. If the clone with Lion is to your liking then just clone it back to the internal.

    Which external hard drive should I use/choose as I am setting up Time Machine on my MacBook Pro 15 for the very first time?

    Any of these SATA HDDs that are at least the same size as your internal HDD (preferably larger capacity).  In addition you will need an enclosure, preferably one with a Firewire as well as a USB connection.

  • Which external hard drive should I use to save my iTunes library?

    Hi,
    So I have collected so much music and movies in iTunes that my internal HD is practically full.  (Library is over 500GB of 1TB and the rest is taken up with my apps and programs.)  It's time to purchase an external hard drive to transfer my library to.  Furthermore, I currently have a 2TB WD My Book for Mac that I am currently using for backup.  The My Book is also full and Time Machine is deleting the oldest backups to make room for the current ones.
    Here is where I need everyones advice.  I am planning on purchasing a 3TB WD My Book for Mac.  I am planning on purchasing more movies for iTunes.  Which external hard drive should I use for what?  Option A or B
    Option A:  Put my iTunes library on the 2TB external hard drive and use the 3TB for backup
    Option B:  Put my iTunes library on the 3TB external hard drive and continue to use the 2TB for backup
    Also please give me your reasoning.
    Thanks everyone for your responses!

    Limnos,
    So, let's go one step further with this.  I read your reply to moving iTunes library to an external hard drive: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4594518?tstart=0  However, if I move the iTunes library, will this include all the movies and apps that I have purchased?
    Thanks!!!!

  • How big an external hard drive should I buy?

    I am being told (by my computer) that I need to backup all my files - that there is a problem with the computer's internal hard disk.  I thinkn I should run out and buy an external hard drive (What? you don't ALREADY have one? I think I head you all saying ...)  
    If the internal hard drive is 999 GB, I heard (?) that I should have at least 3 TB for the external hard drive.
    Havign an external hard drive would be a great idea anyway, not just for backing up files but to allow the drive in the computer to run more smoothly.
    I am making "statements" here - but they are really "questions." Am I making sense? Can anyone confirm the truth of what I am saying here?

    Just to get a backup of your system any disk larger than your present usage would work, however you may as well look to later requirements. 3TB should be good enough for a while unless you have lots of HD video.
    As to making your system run more smoothly, that depends on what you will use the drive for, generally speaking I would not use a backup drive to store data that is "in use" and the backup, if the drive fails you lose both data and backup. Have a seperate drive for backups and if you want to off load "in use" data to an external drive buy a drive for that purpose and do not forget to also backup that drive.

  • What brand portable external hard drive should I buy?

    Can anyone suggest what brand of portable external hard drive would be a good one to buy for storing my iTunes music and maybe photos on. My Macbook is now getting stuffed full of music and as I have an 80gig iPod I will need to move my iTunes on to a larger drive to make the most use of it and I probably need at least 100gig. I can get hold of the Lacie Porshe design ones from a local apple retailer, or order something else from the Apple store...Crossfire maybe? I want it to be really plug and go, be ready formatted for Mac, and be bus powered and fully portable.
    I would be grateful for any advice.

    I like my Acomdata too. It's 320GB and in this aluminum case...I call it "the ingot" because it's big and heavy and metal. However, it's not a treat to take places because it's so big and heavy. I'm thinking about getting an OWC Firewire drive based on a 2.5" drive because of the need for an external drive that's highly portable.
    However, don't go the USB2 route unless you have Firewire on the external drive too. USB2 requires a lot of intervention from the CPU that Firewire doesn't. You will NOT be able to vidcap to a USB2 drive. However, no probs vidcapping to a Firewire drive. I don't know why Apple is moving away from Firewire...it's a superior system. If they moved to eSATA I would understand, but that's not where they are going. It's probably a cost thing, darn it.

  • What kind of external hard drive should I buy?

    I have a MacBook pro and an older iMac desktop at home, and several different PC's at school and work (dells for the most part).
    The files I need to move around are very diverse, from .psd and .ai to google sketchup to CAD to mp3s and PDFs.
    I need to be able to seamlessly move LOTS of files back and forth (and I would also like to use an external hard drive to backup my personal photos, portfolio of work, and itunes library). I am sick of moving files with my small 20g flash drive, and I want everything in one place on one external hard drive. The last WD passport I bought will not connect to PC, and I hate the built-in backup software.
    Any suggestions? What hard drives have worked best for you PC to Mac users?

    Well first off you really need a couple of external hard drives to backup your boot drive.
    If you detest the corny and hobbled TimeMachine as much as I do, then you will likely prefer bootable clones instead.
    So the clones will be GUID OS X Ext J formatted so OS X can boot from them, but the PC's can't read that format easily.
    Also one shouldn't be taking risks moving their clones around and hooking them up to various malware infected PC's anyway.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Ok, next your going to need one or two external drives for transporting files between computers of different platforms (one backup), however you need to format this drive into something that the Mac and PC can read equally and with no trouble.
    The formula is rather simple, take the portable drive(s) to the oldest version of Windows your using and right click and format the drive there for exFAT (not FAT, not NTFS)
    Now if you have a XP machine and exFAT is not a option, then it can be downloaded for free from Microsoft's web site.
    It's important to format the drive on the oldest Windows PC because XP can't read/format GUID partition maps and Vista and Win 7/8 can. XP uses a MBR partition map instead.
    The Mac can read/write to all Windows partition map schemes and drive formats, except writing to NTFS.

  • Which external hard drive snow leopard

    Which BRAND of pocket 1,5-2TB hard drive should I buy that  I can partition down to have one 80GB clone of my Macintosh HD? Apparently NOT Toshiba...

    Thanks Dirk,
                         Tried your suggestion various ways but it had no effect the download button was still greyed out and the install button would not activate will keep trying to find a solution. I dont want to boot from the external hard drive that has Lion on mainly because it is a usb HD and the connection to my wireless modem slows the connection rate and downloading would take about ten hours

  • HT1751 when i have moved all of my data to an external hard drive should i delete all of the library files on my laptop/PC

    i have moved all of my data to an external hard drive should i then delete the copies on my laptop

    What are you actually trying to accomplish? Backing up the library, or moving it?
    If backing up don't delete anything.
    If moving did you move the library files as well? Ideally you would copy the entire iTunes folder out to the external drive then shift-start iTunes to connect to the relocated library. This method makes it easier to move the library to a new drive or computer later and keeps everything together for backing up. Rather than delete everything rename the iTunes or iTunes Media folder first (depending on which approach you took) and make sure the library still works before deleting.

  • What size external hard drive should I purchase

    What size external hard drive should I purchase?  I'm not tech savvy, so please speak slowly.  I'm looking at OWC Mini Stack Classic to match my  older Mac Mini.  Do I need 500 GB, 1 TB or more?      Plus, I have to add memory to upgrade to Snow Leopard.  How much memory do I need and should I have an expert install it ?
    Mac OSX version 10.5.8
    Mac mini 3.1
    Processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  2GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    1 Processor
    2 Cores
    L2 Cache 3MB
    Memory 2GB
    BUS Speed 1.07 GHz
    Boot ROM Version MM3.1.0081.B06
    SMC version 1.35f0
    Hard Drive
    Format MAC OS Extended
    Capacity 297.77 GB
    Available 238.69 GB
    Used 59.08 GB on disk

    Good points raised by all.
    In my mini configs - both older and newer flatter model - I have kept their ministack external drive on top of the mini; with 3 or 4 little rubber feet added to the mini's base to give it a bit more elevation from the surface they are sitting on and a bit better chance to breathe. I'm not impressed by the very small air intakes on the bottom and the hot air that often comes out the back or how warm the case feels. Especially in the heat of summer.
    I do turn the ministacks on/off as needed (primarily for backups once a week) as they're not entirely quiet and sometimes seem to have a low hum vibration. Nothing crazy. I just like it as dead quiet as possible sometimes. Plus the fan does not turn off even if the mini and ministack drive have shut down.  The newer wide & slim model does seem a bit quieter than the older model.
    Check through system profiler to see if your system has 2x1GB or 1x2GB. Most likely it is 2x1GB and you'd need to remove both to double your ram. On the off chance it has a free slot; a single 2GB stick would get you to 4GB. Check on the cost difference between the 2x2GB kit and a 2x4GB kit.  I have an older core duo mini that functions fine with 2x2GB of RAM and 10.6.8. But, if you plan to continue to use the mini for several more years as a primary machine including upgrading the OS to Yosemite; it might not be a bad idea to just max it to 2x4 8GB. Yosemite really likes RAM to maximize performance.
    Along the lines of keeping the same mini and doing upgrades. The biggest speed improvements are made by replacing the original internal hard drive with a flash drive. Of course this is a more technical upgrade, you really need to take the mini apart more and you have to weigh the cost of the upgrades and possibly paying somebody to do them; vs the cost of a newer system which would have a significantly faster processor and other improvements.

  • What external Hard drive should I use for Final Cut Pro?

    Hi:
    I have a Mac Pro and I'm planning to work with HD. What external hard drive should I use?
    PD: I have a NVIDIA on a PCI Express graphic slot.
    Thanks,

    You'll need to be much more specific; there are 20 or 60 different kinds of high definition. Some require nothing, some require superfast RAID, some require specialized hardware support.

  • When adding an external hard drive, should you hook it up to your iMac or your Apple Extreme router?

    When adding an external hard drive, should you connect it directly to your iMac or to your Apple Extreme router?

    That depends on what you are using it for. The advantage of connecting it to the router is that you can share the drive over your home network and/or over the Internet. That can be convenient but drive access is performed at network speed - slower than when connected directly to the computer. If you need/want to share the drive, connect it to the router, otherwise connect it directly to the computer.

  • Which external hard drive do i need to transfer my files from my G4 with OS 10.3 to my new iMac?

    I have a Mac G4 PowerPC (with: processor speed of 1GHz, 1 MB L3 cache) running OS 10.3.9.  I want to transfer my files from the G4 to my iMac (.21.5/2.5QC/2X2GB/500GB/6750M) which is still in the box, for the last 3 years.  I believe it is running OS Mountain Lion.  All the Mac-compatible external Hard drives i have looked at are for OS 10.5 or 10.7 and above. Are there any external hard drives for sale that will work with my OS 10.3.9 to transfer files to my iMac? If not, how can i do this transfer of files?

    An external hard disk drive enclosure with FireWire400/800 ports, with others
    may be able to be used; but not as an adapter from one kind of port to another.
    The old iMac uses USB, perhaps as slow as 1.1; that won't work with newer
    USB3.0; but both the newer and older computers could use FireWire; or maybe
    ethernet for computer to computer.
    Newest models have Thunderbolt data ports, so adapter cables are needed.
    And then you'll need cables to match whatever combination you end up with.
    {You may have tried something or another, but not posted back to say if you did.
    And this thread is nearly two weeks old, now. I just happened to find it here.}
    For what you suggest, you may be able to find a suitable cable, perhaps FireWire
    or Ethernet, depending on the ports available and cables still applicable to both.
    Does newer iMac have FireWire ports? You could buy a FW400 to FW800 cable where
    the ends are different, if the newer machine has FireWire800. [The old one has FW400.]
    This would have to be equipped with the protruding connectors so each could make
    the connection between each computer's built-in ports. Not all cable sets do this.
    This would be the fastest way to copy content between machines, if FW 800 in newer mac.
    Port-powered external hard drives may be under-powered and fail to work, so that is why
    I suggest  enclosed HDD with its own AC power adapter that will not rely on FW or USB
    for the power to run the drive and the electronics inside the enclosure.
    example of external enclosures with multiple ports and its own power adapter:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
    This is an image of the lesser model series with fewer ports. The FW800 and USB3.0
    are both backward compatible to their older counterparts, FW400 & USB2.0. But even
    so the old 1GHz iMac G4 with USB1.1, would not be able to use newer USB3.0; yet
    should be able to connect via FireWire400 to FireWire800 by special cable.
    If the iMac G4 is still working, that's a plus. Attempting to remove the old IDE/ATA HDD
    and access it outside the PowerPC iMacG4, is really a troublesome effort, one to avoid.
    But the PPC iMacG4 can be started in Target Disk Mode and accessed as a hard drive
    via FireWire cable, too. Then files can be seen as though the old Mac is an external HD.
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!
