[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1809969, member: 175845"] Nearly all my external backup drives are WD but also include Buffalo and G brands. I avoid any brands/models that use any proprietary hardware and always nuke and format as Mac format. I also look for sale or good priced units using a compatible faster connection than USB 1 or 2. Lightening or Thunderbolt for example. But your iMac also has the luxury of USB 3.0 ports (mine doesn't) that the COSTCO WD may use. Plenty fast enough for most users.

Edit: Sure does, I just checked. Nice!! - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
