I have nothing to offer in the way of education, just experience. I've got a 4 year old laptop that has 2 USB 1.1 connections. I've used it with 4 different external hard drives and it works just fine. You do get a message when you plug it in that says something like "you've plugged a fast thing into a slower connection" (can't remember the words) but it always works, probably at the speed of the slower connection - which is plenty fast enough for me. My advice is to buy a hard drive from a reputable manufacturer and plug it into your computer. It will work, and, if it doesn't there's plenty of people on here who will tell you why and what to do about it
