I am trying to find a configuration with an external hard drive for additional space and another for backup? Is this possible?
I have a MacBook Pro that is running out of space. I had a Time Capsule that never worked well and then died within 3 months. I don't want to go with this product again, so I was thinking a small portable hard drive (to store additional photos and videos) where I can work directly from that drive. And then a My Book that would back up the extra space drive and anything on my MacBook Pro. I can't seem to figure out whether this is possible. I'm looking for guidance on what to buy and how to set it up.

My 2TB WD My Book is nearly full of movies, can i daisy chain it (if so, how?) to another or do I have to use another USB port on the iMac?
What I am trying to ask is that because it only has one USB port in the back, would I need to use the second WD My Book independently and so use up another (and last) of the USB ports in the back of my iMac.
Another question is would a USB hub be suitable to run more that one external hard drive?- Asked by Stephen B

I don't want to hook the drive up to my computer physically, but have it on my airport. I would like a network drive with an ether connection preferably. I guess this could work.
