I have a 1st generation 17" imac G5 and I bought a usb external hard drive to put my 23gb worth of photos and my itunes songs on it (perhaps 8gigs worth). All of a sudden, it has slowed down significantly from what it was before (even though it only had 1gig free!) even when itunes and iphoto aren't running. I know that a usb2 external isn't as fast as an internal but this is absurd. Do you think that there are any ways I can speed this up?
Thanks,
Stephen
