These USB-C hard drives can back up or beef up your Mac's storageIf you're not backing up all your data in multiple places, you're not as safe and secure as you possibly can be. Backing up your data is probably the most critical thing you can do, and even if you use cloud storage to back up data, you should always have a safe "hard" copy on a hard drive. Of course, the current MacBook lineup only has Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports, but that's OK, because USB-C is fast, future-proof, and will likely replace standard USB, HDMI, DisplayPort, power, and more. Here are a few options to get you started on your search.
