[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1872229, member: 175845"] @[B][USER=406685]Lara C[/USER][/B] Hi Laura, And my apologies if I implied that I was using an SSD drive, I am not. I am using the original 1TB HDD Internal drive that came with my 2011 27" iMac, (partitioned), as well as several different external drives, also, most are partitioned, all with various connection methods. As for any hard drive recommendations, I am partial to Western Digital Black HDDs that are used in my Firewire Drive Dock, or various USB, or Thunderbolt corrected HDDs In In their own External drive cases. A lot will depend on what is available and on sale and is a fairly reputable brand. You could do the same. If you are concerned about data loss, then purchased at least two drives and clone each of them. You can use partitions if you want to be using several different Bootable Mac OS versions. - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
