[QUOTE="DannyV, post: 1095808, member: 146706"] I know that this question has been asked countless times but I need some help figuring out the right solution for me. I've had my MBP for about a year and have decided to finally buy an external just in time for 4 years of school. I'm going to be using it strictly for backing up media on time machine and making copies on carbon copy cloner. I have about 50gb of 250gb used up on my internal HDD so far. I want to set it up so that it backs up overnight and then my MBP goes to sleep if such a thing is possible or while i'm doing work (it has to be quiet as it will be sitting on my desk). I've come to the conclusion that a desktop backup drive is most suitable for my needs. My questions are: What size should i get? FireWire or USB? Any suggestions off the apple site? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
