Hi All,
I have read lots of great advice on this forum about Time machine and Super Duper and Carbon Copy Cloner, etc and I am now convinced that I shall be buying two external hard drives to backup my machine (one for time machine and one to be carbon copied).
I still have not found any advice on a favorite (read: reliable) external hard drive? Any recommendations? I have read a lot of reviews (on places like cnet and newegg) and they seem to vary, with the top being possibly WD, Iomega, or Seagate (although I am not yet convinced about Seagate).
I have used Iomegas and WD for years (currently, my biggest drive is 300 gb and cost me $150! That's how old it is!) and they are all still living and functioning fine even after many cross-country and around the world moves. So, I feel like these are reliable brands. But, I was using them on a Windows machine before. Anything better for a Mac? I'm looking for a 2TB drive and I have an 13" Macbook (the version just before they upgraded it to a pro), so I don't have a firewire.
Thanks for your help!
