Hello. I have a 1.25 15inch G4 Powerbook.
Its only got 80gigs and I need way more then that so....
1, am I right in thinking this machine only has usb 1 / I know it has firewire 400.
2, can someone please suggest a good external HD for me.
It doesn't seem any cheaper to buy an internal drive and fit a caddy not in the 500gig range anyway.
Has anyone used this Maxtor drive?

or this Freecom drive?

. I was wondering if I only have USB 1 then will the write and read speeds be really low compared to usb 2 or firewire.. maybe I am better getting a firewire 400 drive?
Still I hope to upgrade to a Macbook Pro soonish.. Well whenever they release the next updates.
Please help me out if you can. Thanks, Andy.
