I just picked up a SimpleTech 500GB external HD. 7200 rpm. Connected it to my new imac using USB port on back. The hard drive has it's own power supply. I have Time Machine backing up my entire computer right now. It's been hooked up for an hour and a half and only 1.75GB have transferred so far. Is it just me, or is this incredibly slow? Any ideas or suggestions? HD does not have firewire. Only USB 2.0.
QUOTE Thanks
