QuestionCan this external HD be separated with one part used for daily Time machine backups and the other part for a bootable catilina installer ? If I wanted Best Buy to separate this WD 2TB HD ahead of time for my mac desktop?
Asked 4 years ago by trish.
- Answer Yes; you may do this in Disk Utility. Format the drive as HFS+ (MacOS Extended, Journaled). Name it TM Backup. Then partition the drive using a 15 GB partition for the Catalina installer; also as MacOS Extended, Journaled; name it Installer. Use the instructions here (https{colon slash slash}support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372) to create the Catalina installer on the 16GB partition named "Installer". Then tell TimeMachine to use the other partition (TM Backup). Done. Do note that a TM Backup disk also contains the necessary files to boot that machine and restore it to the last backup. In other words: You don't actually need to create a separate partition with a Catalina installer (unless you intend to use that installer for other Macs).

QuestionDoes it have a fan to keep cool? I’ve purchased one years ago and it does have a fan. This one seems to be of that caliber but specs say nothing about a fan.
Asked 4 years ago by Chris.
- Answer No fan. HDs of this type (USB-powered) don't have fans as they -might- draw too much power from the USB port.
