[QUOTE="blackmac11, post: 1005211, member: 82344"] Yes that would work out just fine. I am actually going to do exactly that once I get my MBP. As for the hard drive, they are all pretty much the same. Just plug it in, load the files you want, and then move them to your new mac :) Once that is done, backing up the system is [b]very[/b] easy. Time machine will use the drive (or a partition of it, if that's what you want) to back up your system every hour. After the initial backup, it is very fast and you wont need to touch it again. And obviously, chose a external that has more than enough space for all your files. 1TB is running pretty cheap these days compared to what it used to be... [/QUOTE]
