Hi Scan / Scan forum followers.
I need an external hard drive to transfer significant (but not stupid) amounts of data. Though I've got two 'storage' hard drives in my PC and was advised by a mate a LAN party recently to just dump them in an external enclosure and use that.
Basically I have data that I want to transfer to my girlfriends PC and she's using up all my DVDs with silly obsessions. So, two solutions with prices would be ace.
How I can I:
- take two Sata2 HDD and put them in a caddy, or
- get some form of external hard drive and use it to swap data about
The advantage of the caddy is my PC is more portable, and my data is a bit 'safer' if my PC blows up (I've lost many HDDs to dodgy PSUs).
The advantage of the external hard drive is I still have 500gb of storage on my PC that can be accessed quickly and easily without windows having to fail at transferring 300gb from one partition to the next, and presumably it would be designed to be portable.
Although I have e(xternal)-sata on my motherboard, so I'm perfectly happy to use that (as it would be faster and presumably less intense on the CPU / OS / software.
Thankyou guys
