all the externals i've found use 2.0

my macbook has no 2.0 port.

is there a converter? and if there is, would it potentially f things up?

there's a sale on newegg.com ending in a couple days.

and i want to buy this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136321

usb 2 devices will work on old usb ports apparently from what i have read on the web,

in fact i only have usb old and i have a desktop hard drive in a caddy that is usb2 and it works. i think it just can't pass data as quickly.

not always though. I have a Sidekick Slide (USB2), and if I plug it into my USB1 port, it will keep connecting and disconnecting over and over again, rendering it useless. So be careful. But still I had a USB2 external HD that worked (SLOW but) flawlessly on a USB1 port.

surprises me that this thread hasn't turned into a usb vs. firewire flamewar yet.

I have a macbook and never have used anything with firewire. All kinds of shrug at that "flamewar."

But USB 3.0

it's the future because it is a consecutively higher number
