[QUOTE="aroy, post: 514487, member: 16090"] I use WD external USB3 drives. One 1TB and another 2TB. These are stable configurations so I did not go for the newer 3TB drives. Here in India, the 3TB is proportionately more expensive than the 1 and 2TB drives, so it makes sense to get the 2TB for which I paid less than US$100 (about 95 or so). I personally prefer to have my data on more drives rather than have all of them on one drive. As I have not used Lightroom, I cannot comment on Part2, but I think that you should be able to copy the files through Lightroom, which would be rebuilding the catalog at the same time.
