They're all pretty much commodities these days; good quality, long MTBFs. Not sure if your Mac has USB 3.0. If not, get an older model 2.0 USB drive and save a few bucks as many online vendors have them at clear out prices. Dropping prices of SSDs is driving prices down on all spinning disk HDs anyway. You can get a 1T for $60, a 2T for not much more at NewEgg. I shop there all trhe time-- good prices, no tax collected, usually free shipping. Even better deals if you subscribe to their daily ad email...and no, I have no financial interest in them, just a satisfied customer. -- Without mankind despoiling the planet, animals would be free to roam, stalk, kill and eat each other. - @patsajak
