Help me if I'm missing something, but I think in many cases these are the same drives no matter where located or configured. I believe people who have "external" drives are mostly using either the popular all-in-one package, which are 2.5 inch drives (also used internally in laptop PCs, Ipods, etc)just in a different package, or they are using a desktop "internal" drive with one of those connection box do-hickies. Same manufacturers, same drives. Seagate, Toshiba, WD, etc. If my understanding is right, why would you think there would be a difference based on the physical configuration? I my understanding is wrong, thanks in advance for setting me straight. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54534 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
