I really hope I can solve this problem here because the nearest Apple Store is over an hour away by car. I'm not an idiot when it comes to computers but you guys sure make me look like one.[2020 MacBook Air with a Core i7 processor, 512gb of storage. Fortunately, I've got a while to learn before I'm able to afford to do anything like that and I've learned a ton from this sub already. and every time I try to look up tutorials and overviews on this stuff it just leads to more things I have no clue about. I can't even begin to understand RAID, NAS, NTFS, Unraid, drivepool, parity, etc. I didn't even know about the Crystal Disk programs or that I should be checking that stuff until yesterday. I felt so much more secure in my ignorance when I just bought drives with good reviews, moved files there, and did nothing else but after reading the sub I know I've got a long way to go. I'm just getting started and I'm already pretty confused and a bit intimidated by it all. (Its worth noting that none of these would ever leave my house and would pretty much just be plugged in 24/7)
I was also looking at the Seagate 3t one that is like $90 but I've heard a lot of terrible things about Seagate. I mentioned copying a few to the new drive so I could "break it in" for the first couple of months while still having the data backed up in case it does fail so I wont lose any date but I will need the extra space fairly quickly.

My drives are currently pretty much maxed out which is why I need to get another so I can have some free space to work with. >I'd go ahead and copy your data to the new drive, but don't remove it from the old ones until you have to. You can save a lot of money buying a 3tb Hitachi Ultrastar for only 49.99, but you would need to buy an adapter if you want to use it as an external hard drive. Each refurbisher is going to be different, and each drive is going to be a different case where it is in its life. I have nothing against using refurbished its just more of a gamble to take since the failure rate of a refubished hard drive is completely unknown to you. Refurbished is only great in systems using RAID so drive failure is not as much of an issue. It seems like you are not going for any sort of redundancy system like RAID and instead use this drive like normal as an external hard drive, so I would strongly advise you stay away from anything refurbished.

The Plus is also 99.99, same as the My Book. The Plus also has a built in USB hub which I personally love and me and my brother use all the time. A lot of people hate Seagate for many reasons such as the 3tb fiasco and their reputation for lower reliability, but I personally don't have a strong vendetta against them like others do. All around its about on the same level as the WD Blue in the My Book. The internal drive is an SMR drive which can be a bit slow at times. The Easy Store also goes on sale a lot with its more expensive sister, the legendary 8tb Easy Store.Īlternatively if neither are available to you for what ever reason I guess you can also get the Seagate Backup Plus. The My Book isn't bad but its just that you can get the Easy Store for 89.99 right now where as the My Book is 99.99.
The drive inside is usually a WD Red which is far better than the WD Blues in the WD My Book. TL DR get the WD Easy Store it the best and in your price range at the moment.

And I name my external hard drives after characters in movies and TV shows that I enjoy. Custom R2-series astromech droid was purchased a trip to Disney Paris. Little sumo man was a gift from a friend.

Hard Drive Toaster - HDD Docking Station USB Data Hub - Anker USB 3.0 7-Port Hub.USB Power Hub - Not sure exactly what brand it is, but it’s similar to this one.Phone Stand - Twelve South HiRise for iPhone/iPad.Phone - Apple iPhone 6, 64 GB, Space Grey.Mouse - Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse.Keyboard - Apple Magic Keyboard (AA battery version).Computer Stand - twelvesouth HiRise for MacBook.Computer - Apple 13” Retina MacBook Pro (Late 2013), 4GB RAM, 128 GB SSD.So this is my setup that I’ve built over the course of 4 years. But this setup is used mostly for generic browsing, YouTube/Netflix, and Plex server hosting. I know it’s nothing special, but this is my macsetup! I work primarily on video editing projects, some Photoshopping, with some Wordpress website building sprinkled in there.
