                          with those firewire/usb2 external hard drives, can i access it just like i would my C drive? could i watch movies located on the external drive without having to do this and that or move it to the other drive?

                                                  all you need is a usb 2.0 card if you don't have it

                                                          the speed of the drive is the speed of the drive, has nothing to do with usb or firewire

                                                          usb and firwire are methods of transporting the data to your computer....and usb2.0 is faster than firewire
