I've seen quite a few devices that boast USB 1.1 and 2.0 compatibility, so it may be possible to find a 60+ GB external drive that can support both standards. I don't know USB 1.1 from 2.0, so I never knew if this dual-mode operation was a feature of the device in question or just part of the backwards compatibility inherent in USB 2.0.
