Looking for 2024 recommendation on external hard drive for MacBook air m1 and and old desk top. 8TB or larger.
Thank you in advance for your knowledge and direction on this.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.6
Pretty much any hard drive out there would work.
Are you planning on doing video rendering directly from the hard drive, like in iMovie or Final Cut Pro?
If so, yo may want a really fast drive, Thunderbolt, rather than just USB 3 or 4 over USB-C with an internal SSD drive rather than mechanical.
Do you need it to be very portable? Or would a desktop size drive work?
Price point or budget?
Outside of that, look at brands like Samsung, or Adata, Sandisk, Western Digital.
