External Storage Solutions (but not computer backups)
There are many articles about external hard drives for backups, but what about as a source to store home videos and pictures? For example, I have a MacBook Air 128GB that can’t store much. My backup drive is a Time Capsule 2TB. After extensive research it turns out the using the TC as a backup (using Time Machine) AND as extra storage is not recommended (problems with partitions). As such the 2TB is an overkill for the 128GB "McAir."
So how do I find a 2 identical hard drives of say 1TB each to store home videos (HD) and thousands of pictures? These files do not fit on the notebook so therefore do not get backed up with Time Machine. Currently I have files in a windows laptop, USB flash, Camcorder flash, etc that need proper storage.
I would use 2 so that the second one is a backup of the 1st. What is the best way to go about it? Thanks.
