Hi
I went to the tiger direct website and located a hard drive enclosure.
Unfortunately they used several terms I do not recognize. Like what is
"IDE"?
Is " USB 2.0 Transfer Rate: 480 Mbps" a good speed?
What does "Supports Wakeup ability" mean?
Thank you for your help.
God bless,
Mark
God loves you!
