Hi hope someone can help I have a large amount of music taking up a lot of space on my hard drive, I would really like to keep it on a separate external hard drive, but I only have USB 1 connections and I think they require USB 2.
I don't want to install a usb 2 card as I will probably be upgrading my PC soon anyway.
Grateful for any suggestions.
