Hu....figured this one would be easy for a bunch of computer geeks and IT folks.

So what's up with this USB 3 that all the drives have? I had no idea there was a new standard for USB. Wiki says you can't plug a usb 3 connector into a usb 2 port, but you can plug a usb 2 plug into a usb 3 port. This computer I have has usb 2 ports.

What happened to firewire? That's the connection that my old hard drive uses.
