My wife’s MacBook is also connected this way. In that way I can take my MacBook anywhere in the house and Time Machine will keep on working to back up my machine. I still have an Apple Time Capsule that I point Time Machine at. You will have to reformat either of these disks to set it up for the Mac files, but that is easily done in the Mac Disk Utility.įor my laptop I take a different approach. You don’t need the externally powered version, just the portable version that gets its power via the USB connection.
In the Seagate world you should get their Seagate EXPANSION DISK version of their HDD.
Besides, it wastes a little bit of storage space that you’ve paid for. I avoid the PASSPORT version because it is set up with its own backup software and that seems to confuse some people. I’ve alway bought either a Western Digital ELEMENTS drive (usually 2 TB).
If you have an iMac (desktop) then a directly connected HDD is a good thing.
