Yes, you can use an external SATA drive on your notebook. I haven't see a portable one but there are adapters for desktops I believe.

My HP notebook has a SATA port, does this port supply power to the drive as well like an externally powered USB hard drive? Is SATA faster than Firewire or USB, my notebook also has a mini Firewire port as well so i can use all 3 different standards of SATA, Firewire or USB. ======================================= The Techno-Chat E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit for forum's dedicated web pages located at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/techno-chat You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Techno-Chat group at either of the following websites: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/techno-chat/index.html Or: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> you may also subscribe to this list via RSS.
