[QUOTE="Brice0501, post: 311385, member: 21823"] I am hoping someone here can simplify this for me. I have been reading alot of posts, but don't quite know which direction to go. [I][B]Problems:[/B][/I] • I need a reliable backup of all my files as I am beginning my grad quarter in design school. • I also use a lot of disc heavy programs and would love to speed things up a bit. • Can both be had? [B][U]Facts:[/U][/B] • I currently have one 500gb drive that came installed in my mac pro. • I use Adobe CS religiously [U][B]Questions:[/B][/U] • Seagate is the drive I should be buying, correct? • Who should I be buying from? • Is this thinking correct on my part……The 500gb drive that is currently in my computer, which has OSX on it, will remain my disc that contains OSX along with all my applications. The new disk, say it's another 500gb, will be strictly for backup? Will I be able to drag files to this disk in finder? thanks for your help Brice [/QUOTE]
