Lea, Which Mac Pro do you have? You could add a USB 3.0 card internal and you would have 4 additional upgraded ports. Answer is, external drives used to be the only way to add storage or perform backups. Cloud storage services like google cloud allow for redundant off site backup of data. I use a service which I high recommend called BackBlaze. I have about 2 terabytes stored on their cloud. I also backup redundantly to a 19TB enclosure in home. I am mentioning this info because the MacPro aluminum is high expandable and upgradable. I personally think that Apple’s attempts at replacing the MacPro Aluminum design have been failures. Enjoy, I would love to know which model you have. Hey every one, I had a hard drive 100% crash over the weekend. I had been moving lots of large image files when the thing crapped out. I didn’t have a complete backup locally. I did have a full backup for the drive on my cloud account. All I had to do was select the files for that drive on my cloud services site and tomorrow i will receive a drive with the data that was on the drive. Backup often and redundantly. Best, Allan
