I am worried the external would be too slow on usb 2.0...??? but other than that it doesn't matter. I have an esata and firewire connector on it also so esata would be fastest I am thinking.
Only other thing that concerns me is the bulk of having a separate drive to lug around (I say lug but it probably is really light).
There you have it, give me your thoughts and even suggestions on which drive I should get.
I was ripping my movies to my NAS but ran into the problem of not going to have enough room (10.7tb usable out of 5 3tb red drives using 1 as parity) so I was playing with converting them to mp4/mkv/h265 and got so frustrated I stopped, hence the reason a drive is still nice to have in the laptop
