Yep, you've confirmed pretty much what I was thinking, I've just checked
and I do as a matter of fact have an external SATA drive in the form of
my western Digital Mybook Studio drive however - given its size - you'd
hardly carry that around with a Notebook <smile>.

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.

Hi!
Just wondering if there's such a thing as an external SATA hard drive which
would work well with a Notebook? 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.
