Lynn, I strongly recommend Western Digital primarily because of their customer service and return policies. Having dealt extensively with both Seagate and Western Digital (as well as others), I have always had the best experience with WD returns/service. They offer free Advanced Replacement (cross ship) and are extremely prompt in delivery and service. Very smooth process. The 2tb comes in 3 flavors... Essentials (1year warranty) -- My Book (2 year) and My Book Elite (3year) -- The Elite appears to only be about $5-10 more at most sites, sometimes less with sales and free shipping deals: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136582&cm_re=western_digital_external_2tb-_-22-136-582-_-Product -- fantastic price. ~Kiernan Head Technician - Green Earth Computers www.greenearthcomputers.us greenearthcomputer at gmail.com 413-282-TECH On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 1:19 PM, Lynn Nichols <lynn at starstruckdesign.com>wrote: > ** Be sure to fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. > ** If you did, we all thank you. > > > I'm looking to replace my external backup drive for Mac OSX backup -- > can anyone who has recently bought a 1.5 or 2 TB drive for Mac use > recommend a particular make or model?
