ordered new 5k imac , want rebuild new workflow around it.
(i7 cpu 256 ssd) - couldn't getting larger internal drive had keep cost of single machine under limit tax reasons.
general computing plus getting photography aperture (for now) , raw files, might switch lightroom. thinking want fast external drive. i'm guessing 1tb directly connected new 5k imac. looking advice on selecting 1 of those.
have 1 tb of other data i'd able access @ time on imac, high speed not needed.
have 2 airs want have backed time machine regularly.
want have automated backup process 3 machines - guessing time machine. fast external drive hold precious photos - want non-time machine, direct copy backup of that.
use older airport express (n) - thinking new time capsule 3tb central bu device , speedier (ac) wifi router.
before - can recommend better way. budget not tight - don't want on spend beyond job well. quiet , reliable important. not thinking of cloud backup use apple's future icloud backup of photos.
in advance.
(finally - live overseas, , thinking of buying owc appear ship - not limited them)
