| 737223 | 2009-01-11 05:25:00 | Hi, I am about to order parts to self build . :D With the HDD setup . I thought: 1x SATA for the software (internal) . 1x eSATA for the photographs (external) . To prevent risk when not used it is turned off . Also, 1x eSATA backup HDD used only once in the blue moon . Is this ok, from my understanding eSATA is the same speed as internal SATA? I decided not to get RAID . Mirror may backup my own mistakes . Stripe the risk may not be worth the gains . So I will just use 2x HDD separately and the 3rd as a backup drive . Regards :) |

| 737224 | 2009-01-11 05:39:00 | i think so, SATA and eSATA are both SATA and SATA is for HDD and HDDs are supposed to be fast enough for pcs | pcuser7895 (12979) | ||
