    Hello.

    Does anybody know how much powerful are the USB on this model. Because I've heard that on some Portege models, USB "power" is under 500mA, which is a bit too low for external hard drives...

    For the Libretto U100 users....anything bad you can tellme about it?

    I'm not too familiar with the Libretto series, but I suspect that they should be regular 2.0 USB ports. Here's a review

    So the problem "might" be if the ports aren't 2.0 ? then it would be possible to have problems with some external hard drives?

    Toshiba says the ports are USB 2.0, so they should work just fine.

    It will work with Usb 1.1, but will be slow.
