[QUOTE="klv, post: 1175465, member: 188876"] It worked perfectly! I bought a thoshiba canvio. I don't know if the disk is faster or just by formatting Mac OS Extended is makes things a lot better. Now I just have another question. When formatting the disk, I got the question if I wanted to use Time Machine with it. I didn't want to do so because I wanted to use that disk as a backup unit to use with my iMac too. But I was wondering if it would be a good idea to make a partition on the seagate disk (1 TB) with the size of my MacBook (200 GB) to let Time Machine do its thing. Would that be a good idea? Does Time Machine need to be plugged all the time? (that would be an issue since the seagate is USB). Is it a better idea just to buy a 200 GB wireless HD to use it with TM? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
