MacBook Pro Question

    Sorry if this in the wrong section.

    I bought a Mac Book Pro a few months ago, March I think, and I'm now shopping for an external hard drive. Ideally something that is Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt would be ideal but failing that a USB one would be fine.

    If anyone knows where I can get a portable Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt drive that'd be great.

    Also, I'm not sure whether the USB ports in my Macbook are USB 2 or 3. Is there any way to tell?

    Sorry if they're noob questions, but I've tried googling and I'm not getting anywhere. Helpful replies only please. :pac:

    Only the finest for your MacBook Pro! :D

    Top five portable drives: Thunderbolt meets USB 3.0

    Recommended the Lacie in another thread yesterday. Up to 1 TB HDD or 256 GB SSD. The 1 TB HDD version costs 250 yoyos.

    Computeruniverse.net has the Lacie in stock for 250 yoyos, and they do ship to Ireland (€18.60 IIRC)

    Didn't look for the others though, use "search".
