I have a Mac book pro bought in 2017. I need to back it up so I can download latest software update

You can use literally any inexpensive external hard disk drive. Speed is not important.


Seagate, Toshiba, Western Digital all make external hard disk drives of roughly the same quality and in the same price range. None are particularly any better than any other.
