Defective '5,000,000mAh' power bank
It arrived dead, but in a highly dangerous state and could have burst into flames at any moment.
A lot of readers are interested in knowing what I have connected to my Mac(s) at the office. Here's a tour of the hardware I use - and rely on - daily. Everything from peripherals to high-end printers.
I have a lot of storage connected to my Mac. Connected directly I have a 4TB WD My Book, an 8TB WD My Book Duo, and a 4TB G-Technology G-RAID. I use Carbon Copy Cloner and OS X Time Machine to move data to and between these drives.
I also have another 12TB connected via Ethernet in the form of a NetGear ReadyNAS box.
All this hardware is top notch and I've been thoroughly pleased with how it has performed and lasted.
This may seem like a lot of storage – and it is – but when I'm shooting timelapses or video I can pretty much fill a 64GB card, and on top of that Photoshop files and outputted video files are themselves huge. Not only do I want a way to store this data, but also back it up safely in care of mishap or disaster.
The data all mounts up in the end, and terabytes don't seem all that big any more.
