Where in Harare can I buy a Mac-formatted external hard drive? Something sturdy and legit. Thank you!

Question

I'd appreciate it if you could also inform me on the prices as well as the brand.
(p.s - I refuse to buy Apple Time Capsule so that one aiwa).

Answer 1

A hard drive's format isn't permanent so you can pretty much get whatever you want and format it on a mac http://www.cnet.com/news/using-external-drives-to-save-space-on-your-mac-format-them-first/

Here is a starting place for your shopping around
3.5" Drives (not as portable but they often afford better performance than 2.5" drives) http://www.classifieds.co.zw/index.php?a=5&c=2&b=909
2.5" Drives http://www.classifieds.co.zw/index.php?a=5&c=2&b=908

If you want higher end stuff (for a healthy premium, of course), have a look at http://www.solutioncentre.co.zw/brands/lacie/

This helps,
Gracias!

By the way, if your mac is relatively new, it will probably support USB 3. USB 3 drives offer great performance though Thunderbolt drives are arguably faster (some drives offer both interfaces but you may have to look far and wide for those)
