Comments on: March 16, 2009: 1.5TB More Storage https://sheepguardingllama.com/2009/03/march-16-2009-15tb-more-storage/ Scott Alan Miller :: A Life Online Sat, 21 Mar 2009 16:57:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: Anonymous https://sheepguardingllama.com/2009/03/march-16-2009-15tb-more-storage/comment-page-1/#comment-22029 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 16:57:33 +0000 http://www.sheepguardingllama.com/?p=3712#comment-22029 The speeds are not the best but that is really a combination of it being connected via USB and that it spins down when not in use so you have to make a request to it and have it spin up before it begins to transfer anything. For storage it works perfectly well but as a main drive it might be a little annoying.

I would splurge for the 1.5TB over the 1TB, though, you get more storage per dollar and once you have storage like this you are likely to find yourself using it rather quickly. I need to get my second 1.5TB drive ordered very soon. Few weeks, I hope.

If you are really concerned about the speed of an external drive, consider getting an eSATA card and an eSATA external drive – much faster transfer rates.

Or, if you can squeeze it, get an internal drive. They are cheaper anyway.
