[QUOTE="poppi, post: 1541792, member: 214058"] [b]Extrnal Hard Drive[/b] Thank you Jake for your prompt and helpful correspondence. Here is my latest list of questions re the external hard drive. First let me explain that my options are limited to what is offered at the Apple Store. This is because I have a $100 gift certificate for there and there is nothing else in the store that I need. The good news is their prices for the candidate drives are the same as on line merchants. Three options I have looked at are: La Cie d2 4 TB. I love my present d2 500 GB and would lean toward this option but it has Thunderbolt, which will not work with my iMac so that eliminates the d2. La Cie Porsche P9233 4 TB. Designed for Mac, USB 3.0 and 2.0, Time machine compatible BUT – no firewire??? That would seem to rule out this option G Drive (G technology) 4 TB USB 3.0 & 2.0, Firewire 800 and 400. Time Machine compatible. “Recommended for digital photography” . This seems to be the best option. Appreciate your thoughts on what I have said above and if you have any experience with the G Drive unit Thank you Poppi [/QUOTE]
