plans not concrete yet....current situation is that my laptop's 80GB is filling up fast and I need to have external storage...my internet is connected thru LAN(only 1 RJ45 jack onboard) so either I link up the new HDD with a new PCMCIA card or I use USB2.0 to connect to my laptop...

I am more inclined to use LAN for connection since LAN transfer speed is faster than USB2.0(pls correct me if I am wrong) but it would make my setup complicated.

as for the mode of transfer within the enclosure itself...would be looking out for SATA but it seem like only IDE enclosures come with LAN connection at the moment...they are also not cheap....100++ bucks...so still considering the kind of HDD I want...size-wise I am pretty easy on it...its how-to-connect-to-my-laptop part that is giving me the headache...

Wow..... VAIO is one of the best looking Notebook money can buy Exclamation Nice hardware + good software too. Look great also ....... you got taste man....... but too Expensive for me lah...... Dell will be just nice

if u concern about pricing then a ext USB2.0 3.5" should work well for you. if your notebook's not having the high speed USB2.0 then may have to get expansion PCMIA card for that. seems like most ext hdd are high speed USB2.0 now.

Let me see... I think it's the 2000 version of Symantec. Computer is slow... no doubt... but still way better when I tested 2003 version. 2003 slows it to such an extent that it took 15 minutes to start up a computer. Rolling Eyes

Then I went to try out Panda... screwed it up totally. My PC was gone case and had to reformat. Very pro sia... never tried anything related to Panda anymore.

any idea how to check if my laptop is using this High speed USB2.0?I know my USB is 2.0...not sure about the High Speed.

Access speed is also an issue for me...I would be accessing quite a lot of data from this external HDD...so its a speed-cost balancing act...

Xcert SG

Futuristic Look...but at what cost? Laughing Mr. Green

however i would opt for a firewire instead, well only if u get an ext hdd mod case with firewire and yr notebook has firewire...but i tink high speed USB should do fine. try to back up the datas u r not using that often and free up yr 80GB notebook. work on the data there and once completed back it up once over your ext hdd which u going to get.

i never leave my ext hdd connected and idling over my PC or notebook. only connect it when transferring data and after that disconnec the unit and keep it in a cool dry and safe location.

I already have an external HDD for backups...I am buying this new one for games and applications...
