Backup Itunes Library To External Hard Drive

I have been using WD External Hard Drives to backup my extensive photo library and have never had a problem with them.

I'm using this as an external storage for my music collection. The 3.0 speed makes all the difference in communicating with my iTunes library. B&H had the best price around for this 1TB hard drive.

I use this as an external (vary large) iTunes library with a mac mini (my own media server). Works great, and an addition to my large family of G Tech drives

I used the WD 2TB My Passport external hard drive to back up my 2 TB Brennan B2 music library. It worked very well. I also used a powered USB hub to connect as the download speeds are very fast. One thing I ought to mention is because the download speeds are so fast, I recommend placing a fan in front of the Brennan B2 as it can get hot. In fact, before I put the fan on my B2 froze and I had to hard close to shut it off to cool it. After using the fan I had no more problems with overheating. I did not have any problems with the external hard drive overheating. It took me about 3 days to download my music library as I have used about 500 GB on my B2 and I only ran the external hard drive for about 4 hours each day to avoid overheating. The other thing I have to recommend is the compact size of the external hard dive, 3 x 4 x 3/8, as it does not take up a lot of room.

No issues. I use it to connect an external backup hard drive to my netbook.

I have several WD Elements Desktop External Hard Drive and all have served us well for backup.

I have used a LaCie Rugged USB External Hard Drive as a backup device for over 10 years. This is a very reliable product. When I purchased a new computer with a Type C drive I did not hesitate to upgrade to a LaCie Type C drive knowing it would be just as reliable.

Purchased this to transfer photos from another WD 4TB external hard drive as a backup.

I love the sound, but I am still trying to adapt to sonos rather than my iTunes library.

I bought this hard drive to use with Time Machine on my Mac. I literally just plugged it in, then the computer asked me if I wanted to use it as my Time Machine backup and I clicked yes. Presto. Done. Didn't install any software, it's just plug and play. (I had to buy a new external drive because I got a new computer and the old backup drive would be completely overwritten if I used it for Time Machine. This one is about 1/20 the size of the old. Since I work upstairs in my bedroom at night sometimes, it's nice to have an external drive that is completely portable. This way I tend to plug it in for a backup more often instead of waiting until I am downstairs again.) I actually bought an extra one for a different computer.
