Hi All
I have an AEBS in the loft with an external Toshiba hard drive connected to the USB of the AEBS. I use this drive as the Time Machine for both my iMac & Mini and have had no problems backing up to it.
Today, the hard drive has died, and I wondered if I would be OK to buy a hard drive that uses USB power from the AEBS rather than one with a power brick. The one that has just died had a power brick and if I can get away without using one, then all the better.
Any thoughts?
