Backup drive for iMac 2020

Is there a good/better/best portable hard drive for an iMac 2020? I thought I might get your input on this if I may. I run BigSur 11.7

Much appreciated.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

LaCie drives are an excellent option to be used as Time Machine backup disks.


Here are the two LaCie drive models Apple sells:


Either one would work without issue to backup your Mac with Time Machine:

Make sure to buy the LaCie drive in a capacity that's 2x larger than the disk(s) you need to backup.
