[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 206070, member: 9240"] If you're buying now, go with a pair of USB 3.0 drives, and for God's sake format them so that they can be not just read but written to by a Mac (FAT 32) - even if you don't have one (yet). Storage is getting so cheap that to compromise on it now is almost ludicrous. Anything over 0.5GB is likely to be USB 3.0 anyway. If you need something for working files then think about solid state storage since it's incredibly fast and then back up to another drive when you're no longer working on it. My advice is worth exactly what you paid for it, but as one who owns far too many external drives, [I]caveat emptor. ;) [/I] [/QUOTE]
