Hi all, Depending on the age of the external HD, it might have a USB 3.0 slot or an ESata slot. If this is true then the replication process should take significantly less time than if you use USE2.0.
Check specifications of your external HD for details as to the varied ways in which you can attach the drive to your computer.

I have a 1 terabyte external drive that I would like to back up to another external drive simply because it's about 5 or so years old and the data on it is probably irreplaceable. I really didn't want to try just plugging another external drive into another USB port on my laptop and just transfer like 900 gigs across using my computer. It seems inefficient somehow.
