I've got an Iomega ego 500GB external with firewire 800. I would recommend it just cause its much faster than any of my usb 2.0 drives. Who dosent love speed. You can transfer all your really long movies super fast.
I'm planning to purchase one of these SuperTalent SuperCrypt 256GB USB 3.0 thumb drives for my HP envy. Not for...ahem porn, of course, but for my "taxes."
Ahem... is there no way I can password protect a folder and its sub-folders? I don't need encryption per se, just a way of keeping innocent eyes away from the 'sport'.
The MBP I ordered only has the 320GB hard drive. I have more porn than that so an external is definitely needed. Plus my girlfriend will be using the MBP and I'm positive she will somehow find the folder - she's curious by nature.
I've been looking at external HDs for back ups recently. I'm trying to decide if I want to spend more for the FW800 connection. Seems to cost a lot more.
Excellent pro tip.Tip: Name the resultant .dmg something non-suspicious like "planes.dmg", or "cars.dmg" - something she wouldn't be interested in anyway!
Excellent pro tip.
My family bought a 1TB WD MyBook a couple of years ago. Besides not actually being 1TB (more like 930GB) it has worked great. WD would seem to be the best option in your case.
All kidding aside, moving your porn to an external HD or NAS device is only part of the solution. You'll also need to be very sure you learn how to clear the "Open Recent" lists in Quicktime, VLC, Preview or whatever media player you use.
Otherwise, she'll have questions about that file named "Tug.On.My.Toes.Part1.avi" in your recently viewed list. She may not be able to see it, but Google knows all.
+1. Google chrome -> incognito window, ready to go! ofc you must have internet access, but then again... you won't watch p0rn on a plane or on the road, right? right?yeah I've gone all streaming and I feel a little bit more secure in that. I mean, interested parties can find out of course, but it isn't nearly as obvious to the gf. I feel what some people are saying about honesty and whatnot. We can watch some things together. She is cool with that. But some things should stay between me and my iMac
glad to see MacRumors, as a community, opening up like this![]()
