What does an eSATA expansion card run? I have a P4 1.7 Ghz machine that i want to turn into a server running linux & virtualizing server 2003. I have an 80 GB SATA drive...but no ports.
Any major speed or performance differences I would see in a config like this? Or would it better to put the drive into a general purpose desktop that was running linux with viryual xp On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 12:27 PM, Gustin Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Shawn wrote: >> John Jardine wrote: >>> For large files, ISO, distros etc I'd definitely use USB or portable >>> drives.
