I have a bunch of old (5-10 years) external hard drives (iomega, g-drive) that have been used sparingly and always worked perfectly well. I just discovered that they do not work with my new-ish Macbook Pro (2 years old). When connected (USB), they open very slowly and quickly freeze, freezing the entire Macbook Pro OS as well.
Just for a test, I pulled out an older Macbook Air (2011) and plugged in the hard drives and they work perfectly. What is up with external hard drives and newer Macbook Pros? Is this a common issue? Is there a solution?
Thanks!!!!
