[QUOTE="Jeff, post: 303704, member: 21285"] Answer to the first part of your question: iMacs do not have big drive support. That means that it will only recognize 128 Gb of hard drive space on any drive over 125 Gb. [URL="http://www.lowendmac.com/macdan/05/1024.html"]Here is a link to a better explenation.[/URL] Second part: Your iMac only has USB 1.1, so things would run very slowly. But as long as you get a hard drive enclosure that supports big drives, you would be fine. [/QUOTE]
