Using 2 external HD's for Backup

markst33 · 2015-06-05 09:40:46

I have a 21" iMac with a 500gig HD. I also have a WD 500gig external HD which I am using with Time machine for backing up. I have 100's of RAW files catalogued in Lightroom which are taking up a massive amount of space and potentially slowing down the Mac. I am quite diligent about deleting images I know I will not use so…

I have a 21" iMac with a 500gig HD. I also have a WD 500gig external HD which I am using with Time machine for backing up.

I have 100's of RAW files catalogued in Lightroom which are taking up a massive amount of space and potentially slowing down the Mac. I am quite diligent about deleting images I know I will not use so as to save space but even so my mac is filling up at an alarming rate.

So I have images on my internal HD. backups to an external HD and I also back up to DVD

I have ordered a Samsung 1 TB external HD and I am looking for advice as to what is the best way to utilise the 2 external HD's whilst freeing up space on the internal one.

Thanks in advance.
