We're going to be selling our house soon and moving in with the in-laws while our new house is built. That means 6-8 months with all my gear in storage. I will be bringing my Mac Pro (trash can) as my only computer for this time period. Unfortunately, it's lacking in storage, and I'd like to take about 7TB worth of data with me for use during this time. Can anyone recommend a quality external storage device?
My requirements:
1) 7+TB usable
2) Quiet
3) Doesn't get hot
4) Doesn't draw large amounts of power
5) Relatively small
6) Relatively cheap ($250-300ish? More if it's worth it.)
7) Usable with a Mac
8) USB3 preferred, Thunderbolt OK, NAS also acceptable
9) Capable of copying 7TB worth of data in under a week
10) Reliable
