Hi.
I've got a new case which doesn't allow the use of any 3.5" drives. Now I'm after a 2TB+ storage solution to go along with it.
My initial thoughts are something like a NAS, but realistically I'm not sure I have either a) the capital or b) the requirements for soemthing that over the top.
Is it possible and/or safe to use a USB 3 external hard drive as a permanent solution? My motherboard also has an eSATA port, but I believe these are slower.
The drive will be used for mass storage of pictures, videos and small files such as word and excel. Any games will naturally be on my SSD.
What are my options?
