[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1807683, member: 234411"] Well, you've already received several recommendations - answers to several questions would help: 1) What type of external drive will do, i.e. spinner HD or SSD; 2) What size do you want (big cost difference for SSDs); 3) How much do you want to spend; and 4) Do you want redundant storage, i.e. 2 or more locales (especially if these are photos you DO NOT want to lose)? Spinner HDs of 1TB size can be bought for under $100 - SSDs are more expensive - there are plenty of brands; I own a lot of the SanDisk products for solid state storage - also, take a look at [URL="https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/storage"]OWC[/URL] for excellent external storage products, both spinners and SSDs - I recently bought the SSD below at a decent price. And keep the 'cloud' in mind, plenty of options whether iCloud or others. Finally, if these are 'precious' photos, you need to store in at least two different ways. Good luck - Dave :) .
