Can a portable hard drive USB 3.0 work with my 2011 Macbook pro. And can you suggest a model that would be best.
I know very little, and just want to back my computer up as easily as possible with out 'reformatting' or anything else. Thank you so much!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
Following is one available from Apple Store online that I have had good experience with: G-Technology 1TB G-DRIVE mobile USB-C/USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Apple
There are other options at Storage - Mac Accessories - Apple
Or any USB drive that states that it is formatted for a Mac will work.
i appreciate your information, especially about just use Disk Utility. Thank you!
What are drivers?
Someone else mentioned Super Duper for backing up and creating a bootable clone. I've been using it for years. Highly recommend.
Thank you!
You are very welcome!
