Best External Hard Drive For Mac Time Machine

[ SATA SSD ] Needed a small external hard drive (because of desk size) to use for my Time Machine back up. This works perfectly and was easy to set up.

[USB-A Male] About a year ago, my G-Technology external hard drive stopped working as my time machine backup for my MacBook Pro. I tried all kinds of stuff. Searched the Internet endlessly and boy, there are a lot of people with the same issue. I was debating whether to buy a new drive, but thought I'd try a new cable first. It's expensive, but if it works, it's worth it, and if it doesn't, I'll return it. I'm so glad I gave it a try. I followed the steps in the instructions for hook up and power and it immediately began backing up my machine! I now have three backups from today alone. Thank you StarTech!

[Touch] This is our 12th Macintosh over a period of 33 years, and it is stunningly excellent and useful. The physical design is sleek and attractive, the performance is crisp and consistent, and the display is simply beautiful. Our photo collection has never looked so good! The supplied keyboard is comfortable for both of us, and the mouse is, well, a good mouse. The machine is dead quiet, unless we want music, which sounds the best of any Mac we've ever had, except for the 20th Anniversary Mac with its integrated Bose system. This may be the last of this particular design from Apple, and it is hard to find any shortcomings, other than perhaps a few more USB and Thunderbolt ports. We will be running a Windows system in a VMWARE virtual machine -- so I can play with model railroad software that, sadly, isn't available for the Mac itself. Grudgingly, Intel inside still has some utility here. To this Mac we added a 2TB external SSD to hold our massive photo and music collections, and a 4TB external hard drive for Time Machine backup. Overall, this is an exceptionally fine system and an unbeatable value.

[Cable] Works great! Compatible for MAC Laptop esp if you purchased a external hard drive like (WD)

[USB-C Male] It worked for what I needed. Booting my old MAC as an external hard drive and connecting to my new MAC to transfer GIGs of data was a breeze with this cable.

[2 TB] Simply the Best Hard Drive

[1.78 lb] Best reviewed hard drive.

[ 3.5" HDD ] I am a novice when it comes to all things Mac. So I contacted B&H customer service to ask questions about the different external drives. B&H has excellent customer service! The rep said to review the Glyph external drive. So glad he pointed this out to me as it's a great product. Glyph makes it easy to set up Time Machine, which is great for a novice like me. Also, prior to this purchase, I had a LaCie external drive for my Time Machine. It was very noisy. This Glyph is very quiet. I am very pleased with this purchase.

[3.3 VDC] Fast external hard drive. Works well.

[6 TB] This is my third external hard drive, work great.
