Thanks for your thoughts there - I’ve had two WD portable drives and one MyBook? 2TB drive but they are USB 2 and all mechanical and tended to take a fair while. I’d be happy with another of their drives, SSD, but they don’t do any Thunderbolt drives. Maybe for the amount of data I have, USB3.2 is fine.
As for the iMac, it is a joy. So beautifully made & designed, the trackpad is huge, the screen is amazing, the cables lovely, super fast, the keyboard is great and it can be carried with one hand - almost portable! 😆 Cheers, Stephen You meet your destiny on the road you take to avoid it. ~ Carl Jung > On 2 Sep 2021, at 13:23, mac98aop <[email protected]> wrote: > Nice!
