Re: external hard drive

Hi Lori, When this has happened to me, I always unplug the drive from everything, wait a few seconds, then plug everything back in again. That’s what works here… Cait > On Aug 11, 2020, at 8:46 PM, Lorie McCloud wrote: > > I have a 2tb external hard drive connected to my Mac with a wire.

Hello. I like this hard drive. The only thing I'm wondering is if there are drives that have 7200 RPM instead of 5400. Other than that, I'm going to save this email in case I want to purchase another hard drive. Sent from my iPhone On Aug 22, 2015, at 7:01 PM, Traci Duncan

I actually have a seagate, it worked great. When you get it, depending on what you will use it for, you may need to repartition it to use with the mac, or you could format it as a fat32 drive, then it will work in mac and windows. On Nov 2, 2013, at 3:37 PM, Brian Fischler blindga...@gmail.com

I bought a LaCie 2tb external drive from the apple store. It is both USB and Firewire800, and can be used as an external boot drive. This model (2tb) is no longer made, but LaCie is good stuff, and Apple sells it in their stores. It's good to have a combo drive USB/Firewire, so you can use it
