    Hi Appstate98,

    I see no problem with your proposed setup. I am not familiar with that brand external drive, so I can't recommend it.

    My only thought is that, with hard drives dropping in price and increasing in capacity so quickly, I personally do not buy more space than I need for right now. Sort of like buying a huge house when you have no furniture. :emotion-2:

    Good luck!
