You can also switch to 4 TB on the product pages if 5 TB is too much for you. For this reason I have listed the 5 TB models here. If you have an internal 1 TB system hard drive in your Mac, you can do very well with a 5 TB Time Machine Volume. That saves space on the desk and, if necessary, I can work with the hard drives on the go - without a hub, of course, directly connected to the MacBook Pro.įor the 2,5 inch hard drives, the 4 TB and 5 TB models are the cheapest when you look at the ratio of capacity and price. I have an active 13-port USB hub ( described here with a test report), which takes care of all my external HDDs. Personally, I work a lot on the MacBook Pro and like to have 2,5 inch hard drives that don't necessarily need their own power supply. The backups of my wife's Mac have also been reliably stored on this for years (photo: Sir Apfelot). The WD Elements is the "good and cheap line" from Western Digital. Intenso Memory Center 8TB - I actually didn't want to list them here because there were some reports of failures but if you swear by Intenso, you can take a look at it.Western Digital Elements Desktop 8TB - also a good model.Western Digital My Book 8TB - good and cheap my WD disks haven't had a single failure for years.LaCie d2 Professional 8TB - more expensive but chic design.Seagate Expansion Desktop 8 TB capacity - Price / offer: Very good.At the moment, however, the 8 TB models are the ones with the best price-performance ratio. You can make the selection when you are on the product page. Almost all models are also available with 6 TB, 10 TB and sometimes also 12 TB.
If you can live with the fact that your hard drive comes with its own power supply and is therefore more suitable for iMac, Mac Mini and Power Mac, you will benefit from high capacities and low prices with these hard drives.
