If you want the ability to drag and drop music files and folders to your USB drive on your Mac you will need to stay with the MS-DOS (FAT) format -or- possibly ExFAT as your Mac will not write to a NTFS disk. However, I believe the Oppo supports MS-DOS (FAT).
A USB 3.0 external drive should be backward compatible with your Oppo USB 2.0 port, but maybe there's something about it that prevents it from working properly.
As rlw alluded to, you might want to try a basic USB 2.0 external drive. The other option is to install your SSD in a USB 2.0 enclosure.... unless that's already the case? Do you know?
If your external disk is USB 3.0 the connector style should mate up with the left connector type shown on this cable.

Well, Abe. Everything was working great. Downloaded a bunch more music to my SSD drive and really loving it.
Last night I ripped and burned a Pink Floyd DVD concert to the SSD and walked over to plug it into the OPPO and there was a nice little spark between the USB plug and OPPO port.
Electrostatis dischage and I zapped my 240GB SSD. I forgot first to touch my all steel rack first which acts as a nice discharge post.
Lucky for me the OPPO is fine.
That's about 50 hours of work down the tubes as I only had about half the music backed up.
Oh, yeah, I almost forget.
On the simple ext. case that my SSD is housed in, has a very very bright blue light that is obnoxious and blinks constantly when music plays.
I plan to somehow turn that light off, which might free up just enough juice for the SSD to function properly.
I'll let you know.
Thanks, Abe.
The SSD drive itself is a SATA III drive and I believe USB 3.0 compatible or capable. The external housing is supposely USB 3.0 / 2.0.
Yes, perhaps an external case that is only USB 2.0 compatible would do the trick.
Based on the picture you display, I've not seen the USB connector on the left before. I always thought USB 3.0 and 2.0 used the same connectors at both ends.
It kinda' chaps my hide that in that video you showed earlier that guy had a simple external multi-terabyte SSD drive hooked up to his OPPO with a single USB cable and without any apparent issues.
And I hate the idea of having an external drive that I have to plug into the wall for AC power.
Thanks for your help. I've been shopping ebay but I'm thinking I might head over to bestbuy for the external case and/or Y USB cable.
