External drive issue

[stevensnoopy]

Thanks for the responce, I have been trying to decide to buy another internal or exteral drive and spend the money wisely. I am just going to buy an new internal drive and clone it in case of failures as a back up to keep my show running. But I am switching from an Ide setup to sata for faster data transfers and music videos that hoster runs.
Again thanks.

The way I have mine set up is with and IDE drive as my C: drive because Windows doesn't have as much problems with IDE boot as it does with Sata boot. Then the rest of my drives are Sata for the faster data transfer of the music files.
For my back top I keep a laptop with me out in the car in case the desktop goes down. I have had to use the laptop only once in over a year's time and that was because the battery for the BIOS died on the motherboard and computer couldn't find the boot drive.
