Hello All,
Hoping someone out there can recommend a descent external hard drive for me. I am not very computer literte, but I just made my first I movie, and used quite a bit of the editing features. (Thanks to The missing manual series, book)
Anyways , I have it figured out on transfering all of our old VHS movies, the problem I will obviously have is storage. I want to save them on the computer and I thought the best way to do that was an external hard drive.
I have an Imac 10.6.8 , with a processor 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 duo, Memory 4GB 1067 Mhz DDr3 (I dont know what all that means?) I know I have 1 terabite of storage.
But, obviously want a stand alone hard drive unit to save all the movies to.
I looked online and it is very overwhelming, I just have no idea which one to choose. I am thinking 2TB size would be fine for this? And I was hoping to spend no more than $200.00-$250.00.
Hope one of you more experienced users out there can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for your help.
Jim
