Hi all
I am planning to migrate to an iMac soon (from a samsung laptop)
I have about 120Gb of films/music and photos to store, but that is steadily rising as I copy CD's to MP3, and also because I do photography as a hobby...
but I want to replace my slow WD Elements HDD, as it is barely reaching 15Mbs when transferring files...
I am thinking of keeping just the OS and Software on the internal iMac HDD (plus a few precious photos etc.)
Then having a portable HDD to plug in for use with Time Machine to keep the iMac HDD backed up...
but I also need bulk storage far all those 120Gb of files, but also a way of keeping those backed up...
I had been looking at the Drobo, but it is quite expensive, and I have heard that it still has problems...
What do you guys all use to keep your files safe???
Will
