[QUOTE="hempomatic, post: 1914860, member: 335450"] 🤔 Well, this really took off. I have to admit, I learned a great deal, and frankly, had I not purchased them already ........ but I did. Just a couple of quick points from my perspective. Speed: For ME, not a big concern. My computer use is quite limited compared to most of you. Reliability: Again, my limited use along with the brief use as a back up only for a few minutes daily, I'm reasonably confident that even some of the least reliable drives would serve my purposes. I'll also have redundancy with two separate drives, one attached to the Time Capsule, the other a "Super Duper" back up. Cost: Sometimes living on a fixed income means compromises. Two 4TB external drives @ $80 each for me is a pretty decent value. No monthly fees, everything local, and for the first time in 2 years, reliable back up. Thanks [/QUOTE]
