[QUOTE="Krs_2007, post: 514352, member: 12948"] Pat, I have the WD wireless drive with card reader. It also has its own battery and can be used to transfer pictures without a computer. I use another higher end drive from OTW which the drive can be used for Mac or Windows I believe. The later is for long term storage and gets stored a safe location. Both have different connection methods, which was very important because you know how fast tech changes. So the WD is USB 3.0 and is backwards compatible to 2.0. I don't really care about the fastest method, just a tried and true connection method. So look for one that gives you options or at least the latest tech. Another thing to look at is can you replace the drive, which was important to me so I can upgrade to a larger drive or replace in the event of failure. The OTW drive can be replaced but not sure about the particular WD I have, but it should be. So with that said I have been very impressed with the WD drive, after all they have been making drives for a long time. I bought it back in the spring but it doesn't see heavy use. I wouldn't hesitate to buy any of their products that's for sure. Buy the latest tech that is compatible and gives you the most growth or options to expand.
