You have to install the software on the C:\ drive as described by Nitecat, but when you use the Software you can save all of your Data files on the USB hard drive. This way you have the data on the external drive.

I would recommend using the Seagate external drives, as Seagate now has 5 yr warranties on their drives. Most others only have 1 yr some have 3yr warranties, but no other that I am aware of have a 5 yr warranty.

We use Seagate drives now at MTU for all the systems we build, they are also much quieter than the other manufacturers drives.
