Recommendations for a 4TB USB 3.0 or USB C External Hard Drive for everyday data.
#13
I'm not a professional photographer, but I have a lot of photos and also audio files (from my radio show) that I plan to off-load from my iMac (2TB drive filling up). To this end, I just ordered an OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual RAID USB 3.1 for $85, plus 2 Toshiba 4.0TB X300 3.5" drives, $113 each. Total $275 plus tax.

I plan to use the RAID enclosure in RAID 1 mode, which makes one drive a mirror of the other. So if one fails, you've got a backup. I will also back up to TM and my nightly clone. That should be enough.

Those prices are/were 'Labor-Day Specials', but may still obtain. C. $300 is more than you specified, but I think it's a reasonable price for me. You could get cheaper 4TB drives from BestBuy or somewhere.
