just by yourself a new computer.

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?

i have 4 external usb 2.0 200 gb drives...i bought the drives and put them in the usb2.0 caddy

i can run all four drives at once and no slowdown....just as good as scsi, never had a problem

each one cost less than $150 shipping included

these are the ones I buy, they are solid

I have a Maxtor Onetouch, 200GB. Love it.

Buy a harddrive and put it in this...

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

are usb2.0 or firewire drives as fast as a regular IDE hd?

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

fuck the caddy get a benzo

western digital with 8mg buffer :thumbsup

these are great too:
