6TB External HDD for Time Machine

[nicholasg]

I haven't bought a HHD in an enclosure for a long time. I need a new one for Time Machine backups. So speed isn't a big deal, Im looking for something that is very reliable. Don't mind paying a bit more for peace of mind.

Who are the main players in this space?

Thanks!

I use the LaCie 1 big dock. Very happy with it.

Buy an enterprise level drive if reliability is a priority.

I am looking for an enclosure with a drive already installed.

Others would know better as I haven’t purchased an hdd in years. I run dual 8tb TM ssd's. Backups alternate daily (I run 1 backup per day). That gives me redundancy and peace of mind. Packaged drives, I assume, are consumer level with the main criteria being cheap. You might want to consider redundancy.
