[QUOTE="travisw, post: 681839, member: 26586"] I'm going to be getting an external Hard drive for my Macbook Pro. I was thinking 1TB but now leaning towards two 500GB, so that I could use one for backup. Few questions: 1) Can I back up things from my computer and external HD#1 -> to external HD#2 easily? I know that time machine allows easy back up from computer to external. But is it as simple when going from external to external? Is this a different setup? 2) The hard drive I'm using to store all my backup files, can I still use it for other things? I'm not gonna back up everything that I have, just 200 or so gigs. Or is it better to leave your backup hard drive alone and not use it? 3) Can you recommend any hard drive for video editing? I'm going to school for video production so need one that will be fast when running w/ Final Cut Pro and not drop frames or anything both on the capturing and accessing the files later. Thanks [/QUOTE]
