don't worry about the disk access speed that much as sata promises same
speed no matter the disk is internal or external as long as using sata external
case.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Borland Developers Group - Delphi List<BR><B>Subject:</B> Re: [DUG] [Off
topic] hard disk<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>I think it will depend more on your
useage than its internal or external location.. If it overheats in the
internal, then its life is going to be short, but if you leave it in an
external box, sitting on a sunny desk, (or knock it off the desk by accident
:-p) then its life is also going to be less than good. <BR><BR>I've got plenty
of external drives which are all lasting very well.. biggest hassle is just
the slower access compared to an internal..<BR><BR>I normally get about 10mb
per second on usb/2 drives as a maximum.. so its like running a LAN drive. The
only fast one I've seen is when my brother put 2 500gb drives into a pleiades
firewire 800 enclosure on his mac. he was getting 50mb/s copy times. <BR><BR>
