External HDD

[willy123]

Hi guys, I was thinking about getting an external HDD as I think my Vaio lacks space, and s only 4200rpm, which isn't great for gaming. If I get a 7200rpm external HDD and connect it through USB it will be restricted by the 400kb/s or whatever it is, so I was wondering if I would actually experience any increase in speed between a 4200 internal and a 7200 external. Thanks

Have a look at both sides of the arguement here and then make up your own mind.
My personal opinion is to use it during the day and turn it off at night.

I'd say hard disks are best off when not in use, and with power saving they can be spun down so they're not wasting revolutions

Also you're wasting electricity and increasing carbon immitions in the world.
