[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1598124, member: 175845"] That sounds like a good move and I usually recommend and use WD drives. And it sounds like the Toshiba Canvio drive problems with various MacBooks hasn't been resolved yet, even many years later from these reports: [url=http://www.phonenews.com/toshiba-acknowledges-macbook-woes-canvio-usb-3-0-hard-drives-18699/]Toshiba Acknowledges MacBook Woes in Canvio USB 3.0 Hard Drives[/url] [url=http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/12/28/apple.power.cutoff.technology.blamed/]Toshiba Canvio drives failing to connect to MacBooks | Electronista[/url] etc., etc.... :( :( I didn't check for this previously. Edit: And a slightly updated article: [url]http://www.phonenews.com/toshiba-completes-investigation-offers-mac-owners-canvio-drive-replacements-20062/[/url] And apparently they can be made to work properly some found by connecting the drive via even a cheap unpowered USB hub. But why bother... ??? They should just work without such an extra workaround. :D [/QUOTE]
