How to Choose the Best Hard Drive or SSD to Back Up Your Mac

Backups are a lot like insurance: it’s imperative to have it, and you hope you never need to use it. Likewise, backing up your Mac is essential: if you need to use a backup hard drive to restore your data, it can save you a great deal of time, money, and headaches. We often remind you how important it is to back up your files, but it’s not just the backup that matters. The media you use to store your data is critical.

There are different types of backup drives available for Mac. You can use external drives connected to your Mac, portable drives that you connect when needed, or network devices. You have lots of choice, but each of these devices works best for specific use cases. So how can you tell which type of hard drive is best for you?

In this article, I discuss the different types of drives that you can use to back up your Mac, and how to choose the best drive for your needs.
