Time machine drive with Big Sur
What external drive works best as a Time Machine drive if I’m running Big Sur? This is the second time I’m replacing a Time Machine drive after it’s become unrecognized and unable to be mounted. The first one was a WD MyPassport, and the one that quit today was the Seagate Xbox game drive (don’t judge me, I liked the color!). I’m hoping to avoid having to sporadically replace my back up drive and living through the anxiety of waiting for an empty drive to finish backing up 3TB of data. I’m assuming Apple is selling drives that work well with their systems, so I’m considering La Cie or G-Technology. Any opinions or advice? I’m using a 2019 5K Retina iMac, 3.6 GHz, 8-core Intel Core i9.
