I need a new external hard drive for my iMac8,1

I need a new external hard drive for my :

Model Name: iMac

Model Identifier: iMac8,1

Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo

Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz

Number Of Processors: 1

Total Number Of Cores: 2

L2 Cache: 6 MB

Memory: 4 GB

Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz

Boot ROM Version: IM81.00C1.B00

SMC Version (system): 1.30f1

Serial Number (system): YD8520CD0N4

Hardware UUID: 073B29AD-6FFB-5E64-A52C-BF19A054F363

I do not have Thunderbolt on this and when I look up the specs for USB I get

USB Bus:


Host Controller Location: Built-in USB

Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBUHCI

PCI Device ID: 0x2835

PCI Revision ID: 0x0004

PCI Vendor ID: 0x8086

Don't know if this is USB 3.0 or USB 2.0

All the new drives seem to use either Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 😟
