Hello,

I recently picked up a portable SeaGate 1 TB HD. It uses USB 3.0, although I doubt my 2007 MBP can take advantage of it (the HD is still compatible with USB 2.0).

Anyways, I am doing my initial back up via Time Machine and it is going very, very slowly. It is backing up 122.97 GB and I usually only transfer approximately 100 MB of data an hour...

What should I do? I already removed my HD and the SeaGate HD from Spotlight indexing.
