[QUOTE="krs, post: 1854343, member: 67742"] Also depends which type of USB ports the Mac has. A USB 2.0 port is spec'd to deliver a maximum of 500ma whereas a USB 3.0 port is spec'd to deliver almost twice as much at 900ma. With even my old 2012 Mini I only need to use one USB port for the external burner since these are USB 3.0 ports. I assume with an older Mac with only USB 2.0 ports I would need to use two USB ports for the burner. [/QUOTE]
