it's not bad at all. I would prefer to have an internal drive to make sure I have guaranteed speed on the system's boot, but If you really need to use an external drive after all else fails including the IDE controllers themselves, then okay.
The only downside is though if you use an internal drive, there is a specific machine drive size limit. As for external drives, they can be as big as they make them in terms of storage capacity. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
