Hi,
I need a hdd to backup(timemachine) my mbp. I would like to go cord free, so the Time capsule is certainly a great match for me but the price is high for me, and I don't want a built-in router. What's the best alternative nowdays?

Simple external HDD is cheaper and can be a good friend of TimeMachine.
What's your recommendation? Can I unplug the wired hdd anytime? What happens if I have to unplug the drive during the time machine backup?
Why you need to unplug the drive during TimeMachine backup?
For example I have to leave the office immediately. Is it possible or I have to wait?
TM does incremental Backups every hour... they usually only take a minute or 2...

Thank you for the information, it's a good news. Can you recommend a drive for me? I need 2-3TB.
