Hello,
I just purchased a 500gb external HDD for backup purposes. I began to think though, could I just use this as a permanent secondary HDD? I know I probably need 2 HDD's just for performance, reliability and longevity, but would using my external HD be just as effective? It uses USB 2.0 rather than being an internal HD and I'm not sure if it would be as speedy and reliable.
Thanks.
