Eeek! External drive! I would have been happier with a DVD. Why? Because USB 2.0 and eSATA are very slow and Windows still doesn't support USB 3.0 or Power over eSATA.

anonymous...I'm not sure what performance data you might be considering, but a modern 16X DVD drive transfers approximately 177Mbps with an average seek time around 45ms. In comparison, the external PDC2008 hard drive transfers 480Mbps with an average seek time around 12ms. That's well over 2 1/2 times as fast. Plus, you can store a lot more of your own data on the drive...something you can't do with the DVDs.

But the rated speed is never reached in USB 2.0. But I am thankful to MS for providing a re-usable 160 GB HDD. Guess I wanted to install Windows 7 as fast as I could. ;)

How can you complain about Windows not supporting USB3 when there's no controller or device supporting this interface yet out on the market ?!
