any USB 3.0 1.8" or 1.5" HDD supported on MacOS (OS-X)
Posted on 2012-12-26
There's a time I saw 1.8" (or is it 1.5" ) USB HDD on sale but
rarely see them nowadays.
I'm looking for one (of 500GB or above) which is USB 3.0 &
could be supported by Mac (OS-X).
Many of the 2.5" USB 3 HDDs require extra power but the
1.8" could just connect & get detected (doesn't require extra
power).
Anyone has any amazon.com link or other links that point
to such a product?

As far as I know, there are currently no 1,8 inch 500GB drives available.
There are however 2,5 inch usb powered drives up to 1TB available that are made for Apple Computers. I suggest you check out the following links.
