Dear Folks
Good day
I own a 2015 Mac Book Air 128 GB, an Iphone 7+ , an Iphone XR and Ipads in addition to a Win Laptop. I'm basically a windows user on laptops, but slowly moving to Mac Book Air
My basic usage of the Mac Book Air is for web browsing, web mail, apple mail client, apple numbers, apple pages , apple presentations, PDF etc, in addition to listening to some music (of course will use anti virus if necessary) . *Very little photos * and NO Photo editing, NO gaming
The 128 GB on the mac is not good enough so I need an external drive storing downloaded stuff and *in some limited / NOT so sensitive cases, I'll be working on the drive itself* - example some spread sheets or files that can be easily replicated IF lost
I am open to HDD or SSD , max 1 TB
May I request user experiences and suggestions for external storage media - both HDD vs SSD and brands if any
Max 1 TB, should work on Windows, and MacBook Air => these are essential
and (if possible iOS also) , but iOS backup is optional
I would consider cloud as a third or fourth alternative only as I see "iCloud" is the most integrated but falls short of speed and features, while google one / google drive has some good features but is NOT so integrated with Macs and many backup clouds are NOT integrated to work directly on them. However IF most here feel cloud is the best alternative, I'm open to that too
*thanks in adv*
best regards
