I'll shortly be buying a Mac Mini to replace my ageing PC. I'll need some external drives to move my images across from the PC drives - do I need to get external drives that are USB 2/3 compatible; or is it a case that I'll have to transfer across to the Mac Mini HD then back onto the new external drives.
Any advice appreciated

sorted byAlthough USB3 is well over a decade old at this point so are you sure your old PC doesn't have even a single USB3 port?
USB3 is backward compatible to USB2, the caveat is that USB2 data transfer is much slower...
