[QUOTE="poppi, post: 1940973, member: 214058"] I am getting ready to upgrade from a 16 year old iMac to a brand new one and see 3 options at $1300, $1500, and $1700. Let's call them options 1, 2, and 3. The major difference between the first 2 is #1 has 2 Thunderbolt USB 4 ports while #2 also has 2 USB3 ports. I am told that the Thunderbolt ports permit direct internet wiring but I use WiFi internet connection. My question - Could I use the Thumderbolt ports for external hard drives connection or must I move up to #2 for that capability. A related question - I use a EHD to store photos because my antique iMac had inadequate srorage. In that case would I still need an EHD for photos storage or will there still be enough storage in the new iMac? Thank you poppi [/QUOTE]
