Soldato
Just bought a Samsung Spinpoint 250gb Sata II HD from OcUK. I am going to stick it in my pc for the time being (Spec in sig)
But eventually I will want to put it in a external HD Box, now I have seen that you connect these with USB cables to the computer. Is that still fast for transferring data compared to a sata cable.
Also, Im running XP Pro with SP2 but I will be taking this HD when its in a external case to various family and friends, they all have XP so sticking it onto there PC wont be a problem, BUT one of my family members has Windows 2000, would that pick up my external USB HD then without the need to carry disks with me ? as im not to up on Win 2000
