I always have unused space on my internal drive, so there is really no need to have a larger drive than that. Right now on my Mini I have a internal 1TB SSD, so I use 1 (sometimes 2) external 1TB drive for TM backups. Here are what my drives look like. [ATTACH=full]36532[/ATTACH]My startup disk. [ATTACH=full]36533[/ATTACH]And my Time Machine backup disk. Also, I do use other drives as data storage, and those disks are also backed up as needed, but I have no need to keep them connected at all times.</blockquote>
