to add an external hard drive or not... that is the question

[Quixoticish]

It's most definitely the future, but it really needs another 12-24 months in the oven.

Sounds like FSX, or Vista, or DX10..... :-( :roll:

FSX, Vista and DX10 were all patched, but fork out for an SSD now and you're stuck with it. :-(

Wow! thats a lot of feedback, give me 10 minutes or so to read it all...

ok... I will probably just buy two 320gb internal hard drives

thanks for the warning on externals, i had no idea they were so slow :o

not suggesting as an option for you James, but just saw this which I might give a punt to at some point in the future.

Read a bit further up Ben, SSD's were discussed earlier in the thread.

Yep Chris and I commented on them too, but did realise you could get one for under a ton. If i do get one it will be expensed as "developement testing" lol I don have £89 of my own cash to throw arround on anything as new as this.

You did as well. Here's me assuming you hadn't read the thread when in fact I hadn't.

Id be inclined to say and get internal HDD... Im fully WD Raptor/Velocie Raptors at 10,000 RPM they are super quick and SATA interface. I know a 300GB one will set you back nearly £200 but darn its got to be worth it if they watch up with your system MOBO interface etc...
