Hi, first post on these boards...
I'm a pretty new mac user, just bought my Macbook about 2 months ago. It's been working great except for one issue that's surfaced recently. I purchased a 320GB Acomdata external HDD, and yesterday I observed that it is actually transferring data (via USB) at <10MBps, sometimes even around 1MBps, which obviously puts it at about old-school USB speed.
In the system profiler, I've actually noticed that my USB ports seem to be listed at 12MBps speed. Since this is a brand new Macbook, I find it extremely unlikely that Apple stuck USB 1.1 ports on it...
Any ideas or suggestions?
I have a 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo and 2GB RAM, if that somehow matters.
