Apple Releases New EHD W/ThunderBolt Ports

Just recently, Apple Inc. released a new External Hard Drive (or EHD) which, finally, will utilize the "not-so-new" I/O in Apple's newest and hottest MacBook Pros and iMacs.

After waiting for 5 months, we finally see the EHD's. They currently come in 4, 6, 8 and 12 TB storage options in the Apple Store. The entry model going for $1000; or $999. The same price to buy a new Unibody Polycarbonate MacBook.

Yes, this may be very exciting for many Apple store consumers, but how practical are these options? I personally have never exceeded over 500 GB of information. Let alone 250.

Let me help you choose. If you are a student who uses his/her computer for film projects (Full Sail University in Florida students) the entry model is for you. The same goes for everyone else. I highly doubt anyone will exceed 4TB of information... Maybe Apple should really bring that down.

The only time you should ever need an EHD with 4+TB is when you've got 5+ family members in your household. Lets face it, I highly doubt that most of us have less than 5. If you're thinking of purchasing an EHD with 4TB HDDs, don't. It's not practical. You're never going to exceed 1TB unless, as I mentioned earlier, you have 5+ household members... or if you're a Full Sail University student (that university specializes in media productions; anything film, animation, music, anything media, that is Full Sail University).

Think about purchasing a cheaper alternative. 1 or 2TB EHDs should be plenty if you're going to export a few films, movies, few thousand porn photos, cute cat videos, etc.
