Personally, I like the Mercury Elite Pro drives best, lots of sizes, ports, and SSD or spinning drive choices. They are from OWC (macsales.com) which is a Mac centric company and recommended here. Photoshop is not that important in your decision making.


Whatever drive you get, remember that no external drive needs any kind of software to function, so when you get it, plug it in and, in Disk Utility, erase and format the drive to Mac OS Extended and GUID partition scheme. Once that is done, it's ready to go.
