[QUOTE="squbby, post: 761878, member: 74320"] I have a 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo imac and want to buy a portable hard drive for backups. I have been looking at a Western Digital 160GB, but note that some reviewers have commented that it struggles on computers with only 400 whatsits on USB ports. I've been trying to find out how many whatsits the USBs on my computer have, but can't. Anyone help? Incidentally, I'm a novice, so no flaming pls. Also, price most definitely comes into my equations. I know it is better to buy best, but if you truly can't afford it, then........I desperately need to backup my comp. [/QUOTE]
