[QUOTE="RVC1, post: 1623178, member: 33904"] Hey guys. I'm about to finally place my order for the iMac. Going with: Apple 27" iMac with Retina 5K Display / 4.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 / 16GB / 512GB Flash / AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5 So I have a related question. I'm going to need storage and I'm planning on getting a: 0G02289 G-Tech 4TB G-RAID Thunderbolt External Hard Drive, 7200RPM For increased performance, and then a drive for backing this drive up: 0G03594 G-Tech 4TB G-Drive External Hard Drive - USB 3.0, 7200RPM Then I'll also need to back up my actual computer HD with Time Machine which I have a Firewire or USB drive already that I can use, should be fine. Does this seem like a good set up? I'm used to using Time Machine for mirroring my internal HD, but what would you recommend using to BU or mirror an external drive, where I'll be storing all my files? Is there something that works like TM that is smart and can update things? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
