I guess you'll need one of these
Oh, I have a couple with different ends, but I will need so many of the buggers. My phone, iPod and hard drive (
if it’s compatible) all have different shaped ports.
I could get a thingy that turns a USB into a USC but I worry it will affect the quality of transfers between devices if the connection is in two stages.

On the upside, the external drives are fairly cheap, well....except for the Apple ones of course.
I'm sorry but I don't understand why anyone would want to support such an expensive system, and then being enslaved to its every whim.

The main advantage would be size, I suppose. The laptop can be thinner and presumably lighter. Plus it has fewer moving parts that are difficult to access if anything goes wrong.
Personally, I’d still rather have a thicker heavier one that I can use discs in.

Yes indeed, though I feel not a little overwhelmed at the idea of finding the right one. So many pros and cons. I think I’ll visit a specialist shop and get some pointers.

I hear you Willie. I was strictly a Windows/Android person for a long time and resisted the other. The “problem” is that the more expensive system is (in my experience) far slicker and user-friendly, but that’s all subjective, I know.
I do know that with the new one I’ve just bought I get less machine for significantly more money than the older model, and forcing consumers to buy new accessories with every new model irks me. So yes, I do feel annoyed at having to compromise because there’s no other way to have it. But that’s marketing for you.
