QUOTE(super macgyver @ Dec 13 2006, 08:55 AM) use sum simple usb to ide value for money is enough. i want to use SATA HDD coz i may swap it to become the primary HDD inside the computer. That's why need casing that support SATA. But i read in wiki that there is no proper casing that support eSATA (external SATA) at this moment. seagate is not noisy at all in my ring.   Got a problem on my existing external 40Gb ATA HDD. I deleted a bigchunk of files in the HDD then try to defrag it. It take ages to defrag it... but the worst part it still reading/writing to the disc though i had stop the defrag operation. Something wrong on my external HDD?  |

QUOTE(coolblade @ Dec 13 2006, 10:13 PM) do not defrag a harddisk inside an external casing via USB connection. From my experience, defragmentation of external harddisk is very, very lag due to USB 2.0 speed compared to native attachment to onboard IDE or SATA at the mainboard. wokay... thanks for the input. i'll defrag it using the onboard connection. Instead of this, it is better to take out the harddisk from it's casing and attach directly to onboard IDE port or onboard SATA (depend on the type of HDD connection port). Then defrag as usual. I assume u know how to attach the HDD to the mainboard.  |

Guys,
I'm thinking of getting a 320Gb HDD to replace my current 160Gb coz not enough space already and not enough SATA port as well. I want to partiition the HDD into two partition with 160Gb each. Drive C for OS, Office, Applications and Photos and, Drive D is for junk data like movie, tv series, anime, games etc. The old 160Gb to back-up and replicate Drive C. Can this work? |

thanks for the input.
I'm thinking of buying external enclosure for 3.5" harddisk for backup purposes. The HDD is SATA2 and using USB cable to connect to PC. Please recommend things to consider before buying the enclosure. |
