I'd like to use the HDD from my old Toshiba Satellite L300 with my Lenovo laptop to access old files and pics. Can someone recommend me one that fits, please? Completely clueless about this stuff.
Funny, I was looking at these today. At the risk of a small thread side-jack I'd appreciate a recommend for one for a MacPro (Thunderbolt 3).
I was really looking for something a bit bigger. The current MacPro seems to be rather limited in terms of internal HDD capacity. I was thinking of something that would take 4 disks and used the nice fast Thunderbolt 3ports.Not sure idf they still do them but I am certainly still using my Apple AirPort Extreme thing which does what I assume you need wirelessly
other than that get the Thunderbolt multi usb jack thing ( mine has 4 USB ports, HDMI, ethernet port, SD card slot and through power cost about 20 quid) and then any old HD will do the job

I've seen those and they are quite pricey (that's without disks too!)I get that My new Mac book pro has a 1TB SSD in it which is plenty for what I need to store on it the rest of my stuff ( photo archive mainly ) is on the AirPort Extreme which has a further 2 TB which I have partitioned into 2 one half of which I do the time machine back ups to.
How much extra do you need as 1 TB hard drives are cheap enough even for top of range stuff and at the end of it they still have to be plugged into the machine and Im not sure how much faster the Thunderbolt stuff is compared to USB 2, 3 or indeed 4 in the grand scheme of things.
Some sort of NAS drive with raid might do it but that doesn't get your requirements of thunderbolt
One of these would do it for you I suspect but at the price I won't be bothering https://www.apple.com/shop/product/...2a68797f65e5f0ae809d990b531aeb50d38b4dfe52d11
