Best Storage Extensions for MacBook Pro 2017

brokeunistudent on 14/01/2018 - 04:43

Looking to extend the storage on my new Macbook Pro.

I was thinking of buying a G-Technology 1TB USB-C HDD from Apple. The alternative is to buy an SSD and an enclosure but I am worried about its reliability in that case. Or maybe a Samsung T3 for around $130ish for 250GB?

Absolute max I can spend is around $150 and I am leaning towards the G-Technology drive as its $99. Thoughts OzBers?

    Have you considered using pCloud? You can extend the space of your HDD by an additional 1 TB. They have lifetime options.

    I have purchased it for a month now and it has been awesome so far.

    Not quite the same, but similar.

      I have cloud storage. Need something that I can run programs off of.

    Those new external USB c drives are best for external storage.

    The Samsung ones are meant to be excellent. Haven't heard much about G-Technology.

    I see what you did there! :)
