I think you can daisy chain time machines... I also think you can add an external USB hard disk to the port on it. Click to expand... Well i have a 500gb disk in my MBP, its running at about 60% now. My time machine disk is full. The 1T is well over £300, its a little steep. The margin must be insane on it. I was thinking get a 500GB now and swap it to a 2TB or whatever later. I know you can stick exta disks on the USB port, but its an exta box, an extra plug, wires etc, i gneally hate clutter. Found a guide, looks easy. Thanks
