[QUOTE="chscag, post: 765925, member: 46727"] To the OP: Which model Mac do you have? Keep in mind that if you ever have to re-install OS X because of hard drive failure, that external drive may not work to boot the machine. You might be better off replacing the internal drive yourself. Go to [URL='https://www.ifixit.com/']iFixit: iPod, iBook, & PowerBook Parts and Accessories[/URL] and look at their price and instructions for DIY. Regards. [/QUOTE]
