You get a 5 year warrenty on the harddrive that way, and the whole lot will cost a little over $200. I use eSATA, and it is very fast at transferring, almost as fast as my internal drive. External harddrives cost slightly more, but only have a 1 year warrenty and mainly only come with USB, which is damn slow IMO. |

Exactly, my external drive IS faster than my internal one :blush: I don't think USB 2 is too bad... |
