    Sounds good so just let us know after you have them - the 3TB is cheap enough even if overkill you can use 2TB for TimeMachine and 1TB for now to clone your WD 1TB, and squeeze in a small Mac OS partition as well - but that would mean you have "all your eggs in one basket" and you never want to drop basket of eggs. So that is one backup drive, even if safer with multiple backups.

    The SSD or 10K WD VR are "optional" and for getting every ounce of performance.

     

    system - US$100 buys an SSD or 10K 250GB yes, so I tend to think those are so close to the 1TB Black

     

    data - 2x as large drive as your data, so if you have  a nearly full 1TB then a 2TB for data

     

    3TB Green for primary TimeMachine backup

     

    External 2TB for secondary backup

     

    Eventually I would hope you can reuse the 1TB you have as a backup drive.

     

    the nice thing about using just 3 x 1TB WD black is you can use them and swap how you use them for system and/or data - if they are large enough - and use as backup internally or in an external case

     

    and you looked for a nice solid external case or case + drive (FW800 / USB2 / eSATA) interfaces.

    That is a good setup. There is no one size fits all.

     

    There is no real wrong answer hopefully / usually.

     

    Budget and needs and desired results.

     

    you can also change, add more, and recycle.

     

    Saying all that, I would be very comfortable with those.

     

    I myself only have 500GB of data and use a couple 1.5TB Green for backups (one external and one internal).

    As long as the case has screws and can swap out drives of course it will.

     

    All the cases on OWC allow you to. It is only those proprietary cases you can't, like many or most WD MyBook.
