i've been using an HD with 2 drives set up to duplicate each other. if
one fails you are supposed to remove the bad one and the other will be
duplicated on the new one. this procedure failed when my WD drive
failed and WD no longer had one of that size! i wound up paying a
technician to rescue my info onto the new drive (supplied under
warranty) WD gives you 30 days after sending the new one to transfer
your data. it worked well to save the data, but there was no financial
savings.
i monitor this group for my blind 13 y/o grandchild who uses a MacAir
because the portable being issued by the school is not accessible. the
keys are too sensitive and do not allow her to check the Braille overlays.

Gee, only 2 gigs?
Seems a trifle small to me.
Id’ want something like at least four teribytes.
Oh, it must have a rotating speed of 72000.

Try the pass port family, I just purchased one 2 gigs from western digital
if memory serves me right it was around $149.00 It supports USB 3.0, but not
thunderbolt still plenty fast and not a major costly drive. It comes with
software for both windows and Mac though I have never used the software I
run time machine. They have smaller sizes if 2 gig is more then you want.

Subject: External Hard Drive Suggestions
Hey all,
I know we covered this awhile back but amazingly I couldn't find the thread.
I am finally getting around to getting a external hard drive as the last one
I got wouldn't mount properly so I had to return it. I had gotten a seagate
but with all the issues I had with it, I don't think I want to try and get
another seagate. Can anyone suggest one they have had success with for the
mac. I plan to use it as external storage for music and backups along with a
partition for time machine. Thanks,
