I've been using Western Digital "Mybook" 2-terabyte drives for several years now. My most-recent one however is the new USB 3.0 incarnation, which is a higher-capacity, 3-terabyte size. Fairly small, seems reliable so far. Somebody might be more up on this, but I "think" there might be some kind of an issue with the 3-terabyte sized drives and Macintosh automated system back-up software apps like Time Machine...maybe something to do with block allocation size?? I dunno...I do not do automated back-ups. I payed like $129 for this 3-TB at BestBuy, which at that time, was a great price per gigabyte of storage space.
Uh oh. Derrel's gonna be a BestBuy IT pro.
J/K, Derrel. I use the same drives for my external photo storage needs. Along with 2 TB drives, 1 TB drives from earlier years. Except one of the 3TB drives is flaky, with fairly frequent file errors that appear to be hardware-related. Guess I'm going to have to test out the WD warranty support.
