Q: iMac G5 PPC - Which External Hard Drive? USB 2.0? 3.0?
Further to this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/23705868#23705868 - it appears the motherboard in my 20" G5 PPC iMac is dead and I cannot easily or cost-effectively source a replacement.
As a consequence, I need an external hard drive onto which the repairers can mirror the iMac's hard drive. I understand that the G5 PPC is not compatible with USB 3.0, but I want to buy something which can also be used as a back-up for its replacement (probably a new iMac, although this incident has put me off somewhat).
What should I be looking for in a suitable external hard drive?
