[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1864085, member: 234411"] Hi again - looking at your image link and the age of the computer, I'm assuming that you have one of the first USB 1.x standards which are obviously extremely slow from the chart below ([URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB']Source[/URL]), probably fine for your KB & trackpad - video cam (check the specs)? Slow for a TM backup drive but not a big issue if you have the time. Your newer MBPro would have the USB 3.x specs (my MBAir, 2015, is USB 3.0) - appears that you'll have to delegate your needs depending on the speeds/etc. needed - and as you likely know, getting a faster USB hub will make no difference on the speeds obtainable from that old Pro - hopefully, our 'hardware experts' knowing this older technology will leave some useful posts - I did not get into the 'Apple world' until 2013 - good luck. Dave :) . [ATTACH type="full"]32589[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
