As my Hard Drive is now full on my 2009 iMac running El Capitan I want to move all of may data to an external drive. I have tried the WD My Cloud Home and found it to be unsuitable as it is not possible to back it up to another external drive, and furthermore there are many bad reviews about failures.
Obviously I must be able to backup this external drive to another drive using Time Machine. I am looking at the Seagate Backup Plus Hub 4TB as an option. Can anyone tell me if this would be suitable? Or is there a more suitable drive? Seagate also make a smaller portable drive, are there any compromises within the spec in buying the portable version?
The option to backup a cellphone to the external drive via an app would be useful and the Seagate had this option but I read that this option is now unsupported.
Maybe someone has done a similar thing and has a recommendation?
