[QUOTE="andyjamesnelson, post: 361713, member: 29350"] 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? [url]http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?Quicklinx=4FHJ&CategorySelectedId=11003&InMerch=1[/url] or this Freecom drive? [url]http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?Quicklinx=4DBB&CategorySelectedId=11157&PageMode=1&NavigationKey=11157,50683&InMerch=1[/url] . 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. [/QUOTE]
