I have the above ports on the rear of my Mac. May I ask if thy can be used for an external backup drive using Time Machine? Also have 4 USB slots but they are already spoken for with a scanner etc and thought these ports could be an alternative.
Thanks in advance

Apple has them as do some 3rd party vendors like Amazon.
