Hi everyone!
I have 2 X 500Gb external WD HDD that have separate power supplies.
I know newer HDD can get power from the USB ports directly and I use them on my newer Macs.
However, I have a 2008 iMac 24 inch, and was wondering if it is safe to use the above mentioned HD.
Does the fact that these have external power supplies make them prone to more damage?
Thanks!
