What type of portable computing device fits my needs?

best portable hard drive 1tb for mac image

Kyle

I need a new notebook computer but I would like some advice on which type of computer would fit my needs best. Currently, I have a 2TB 27" iMac, an iPhone 5s, and an AppleTV. I download a lot of music & movies and stream them to my TV via AppleTV. I was considering a 4tb WD MyCloud to store my media in a central location but not sure if it's compatible with iTunes and/or how that process works. Also, will I be able to access my media stored on the MyCloud HD with both my mac and new pc laptop?

I primarily use my current laptop for downloading and streaming movies and music, video and photo editing, and surfing the web. I want something with 15" or larger, high quality display. I need to have enough RAM to ensure streaming media is fast and uninterrupted (No buffering) but I am not sure about what I should do for a hard drive. My first instinct was to buy a laptop with a 1TB drive because I need the storage space but if I buy the MyCloud is that really necessary? I like the idea of a SSD but I can only afford a 128gb SSD. They're expensive but like the idea of it booting instantly. Is it worth the price?

The iCloud will meet your needs without any problems.

Answer
pretty much. works like a internal hardrive. all you do is select the drive and drag and drop. easy!

i do suggest buying a backup for it tho. i have 2. encase one goes out.
buy from western digital. they have the best warranty. usually up to 2 years on there drives. if they go out you can replace for free. warranty are only valid for the drive and not the information on the drive. data recovery is at own expense.

i use 2, 1.5TB hardrives and a portable 1tb
