use a nice 3,5 inch hdd with atleast 7000 rpm, and install it in an external case.

if you're only going to use it for storing files an external hdd with 8mb cache + 7200rpm should do fine

something like

so.

if you dont have esata and only use usb2.0 why should you need 7200rpms, because it makes more noise?

lol, 7200 rpm doesn't matter for external hd :) , it's the speed of usb or firewire that matters :o
Parent

Echo 13 Dec 2007, 18:52
well they're all 7200rpm anyway

internal ofc

cheaper, better performance, less hdds broken.

you can expect (when you use the harddisk often and you dont buy an expensive one) that the harddisk will be broken in one year, no problem with warranty, but your data will be lost.

anyone should use externals ONLY if you need to carry big amounts of data with you.

in any other case -> NEVER EVER pls! your will cry over your last data eventually :<

sol 13 Dec 2007, 18:11
Internal unless you need to move shit around!

schNee 13 Dec 2007, 18:14
its just for movies, music and stuff, just to store files..
but with my last external i got the prob that my pc doesnt recognize it when i plugged it in...
so internal in general better?

Internals are faster, cheaper and more reliable - and of course they're internal so they save space. Only get an external if you need to transfer data between computers often.

Bought external networked HD this week. 200€ for 500GB in an external case with a small processor and network card. Just plug it into your router, configure the smb server and you are ready to go. You can also connect trough USB, or replace the HD with a newer and bigger one.

But yes, Sol is right. The speed sux, afaik max USB can do is 480 mbit and its using a lot of cpu by doing that. If you use it over a network the speed goes downto 100mbit :/

Parent

tried it already on another pc? if it works on another pc it's just a usb problem, try other usb port or update/reinstall chipset/usb drivers.
Parent
▼
schNee 13 Dec 2007, 19:07
didnt try so far. always forget to take it with me. :P
and uuuhm my pc is bit old, i dunno where i shall find drivers and who the hell i know what i shall type in at google for drivers...

you can analyse your pc with some free proggie that says all the hardware in your pc, then just type that hardware in google, example "intel i865G drivers"

that prog is Everest home edition download

find there your chipset name and type in google and update all your drivers
