It's USB 2.0, or at least that's what the paperwork says. :) Actually, since I do plan on doing mostly just backups with it, speed isn't all that much a problem. The disk utility that comes with Tiger? It looks like it wants to format both partitions at once, whatever OS I choose. I've renames the partitions, but when I chose "erase" all I get is something that looks like it wants to do the whole drive--not the individual partition name.
