[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1049036, member: 140470"] If you are going to use two separate hard drives for each computer then yes any hard drive will do. For Time Machine backups you should get a size that is larger than the one you have on your computer so that TM has some room for its history. You also don't need it much larger than the one on your computer unless are one of those people who constantly deletes large files accidentally and then need to restore them back onto your computer. Remember TM is not meant to be used to store files you no longer want on your computer. Use a separate hard drive for that. [/QUOTE]
