[QUOTE="swstacker, post: 1323750, member: 186150"] I bought a western digital 2TB external USB for $89 at best buy. They had the same drive and price at wal mart as well. The other drive I have is 2TB as well but it is firewire. It was $159. Both of these drives are the larger units that require a power plug in. The smaller ones that just connect to your computer are more expensive.The firewire drive is faster but honestly probably not worth the cost. The initial backup took like 3 hours on firewire and 5 hours on usb. The superduper clone smart update takes about 20 minutes on either drive and time machine just does its thing in the background without me really noticing. [/QUOTE]
