Answer
I'm not going to read every detail about all these drives you list. I will tell you the facts....
â Inside every drive case is a hard drive ("HDD").
â No drive is "for" Mac. All HDD have the same possibilities with all computers.
â To be sure you get exactly the HDD and case you want, choose them separately.
â Higher rotational speed results in faster data handling / copying / saving, but 10,000 RPM or faster is less reliable, so the best choice is 7,200 RPM.
â A few HDDs are pre-formatted for Mac OS, but 90% are pre-formatted for Windows (NT file system / NTFS).
â Disk Utility in Mac OS can format any large drive as "Mac OS Extended (journaled)" which is the best format for all purposes (Time Macine only works with Mac format) but doesn't work with the default Windows system (3rd-party software can enable Windows to use Mac format).
â You forgot to sat what you have (iMac 2010? MacBook white 2007? Mac Mini 2013? MacBook Pro 2009????)
â The case needs a connection that works with the computer. that could be USB 2.0 (all Macs) or Firewire 400 (select Macs) or USB 3.0 (newer Macs) or Firewire 800 (select newer Macs) or Thunderbolt (newer Macs). BTW, I listed these connection types from slowest to fastest.
â USB 3.0 case is not compatible with USB 2.0 computer port.
â Firewire 400 and 800 are inter-compatible; just get the correct cable and it worksââbut any mix will run at 400 speed.
â Aluminum case is much better for heat dissipation.
â PC geeks typically buy the cheapest plastic USB-only case, so that's what they will recommend.
