Sorry for the off-topic post, but I know there are quite a few Mac users around here and am hoping one of you might know the answer to this.
My daughter has a Macbook and needs an inexpensive external disk for use as a Time Machine backup device. I bought her a bog-standard 320GB Freecom USB2.0 bus-powered 2.5" disk. It seemed to work fine for several months, then Time Machine said it had failed. So I reinitialised it using Windows diskpart and all seemed well again. Then a month or so later Time Machine said it had failed once more. OK, perhaps the disk is just faulty - except that after I reinitialise, it seems to work perfectly under Windows. So: does Time Machine do something unusual that makes a standard disk unsuitable? Does anyone have a recommendation for an external disk that works reliably with Time Machine? Bear in mind I'm looking for something affordable - no exotic stuff please!
